How successful is an acl reconstruction?

Very: The vast majority of patients have excellent relief of instability and pain.

Acl: It is usually very successful as long as you follow your doctor's instructions and rehab protocol.

Fairly: successful in replacing the ACL. However that said, the new ACL has no nerve supply going to it so you may not know if you re-injure it in the future. Secondly the way the ACL is replaced in our current surgical options, its not the same place as before and therefore the stress on the knee can increase causing degeneration in the joint as well. Consider Regenexx Stem Cell therapy options.

90% or better.: Depending on the circumstances and who's performing the surgery, the stability rate should be 90% or better.
