About knee and ligament injuries
Our experts at The Portland Hospital can diagnose and advise on treatment options for ligament injuries including ACL repair and ACL reconstruction. Rest-assured that our expert-consultants are leaders in this field of complex surgery.
In addition to initial treatment, the long-term recovery of the young people we treat is of the utmost importance to us, which is why we also offer a rehabilitation programme as a treatment option. This involves innovative physiotherapy techniques to help aid movement, and slowly build up strength and muscle around the ligament that has been operated on.
Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) repair
ACL injuries are becoming increasingly common in children and young people, as a result of more extreme sports injuries and lifestyle changes.
Our world-class consultants offer a range of different surgical options, including both ACL repair using the internal brace technique and ACL reconstruction. These innovative procedures can rapidly reduce recovery time, and help many young people get back to playing the activities and sports they are passionate about.
