A torn acl is: a specific diagnosis of the anterior cruciate ligament being torn in your knee. You typically do an ACL reconstruction to restore function to your knee. the term "KNEE RECONSTRUCTION" is a general term and could mean anything from ligament repair to cartilage restoration or even knee replacement and fracture fixation..
