Ligament reconstruction is a procedure to repair or replace a torn ligament. It's most commonly done in knees and ankles.
Ligaments are bands of tissue that connect bones to each other and help stabilize joints. They can be damaged or torn, often while playing sports. Ligament reconstruction reduces pain, stabilizes the joint, and helps you move normally again.
The most common ligaments that need this type of surgery include the ACL, PCL, MCL, and posterolateral corner, all in the knee.
