Package Description
Reconstruction of the ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) and repair of a torn meniscus are among the most commonly performed arthroscopic surgeries.
Within the knee, these structures perform distinct functions. The ACL helps stabilize and support the joint. There are two menisci in the knee. These c-shaped ""cushions"" of cartilage help protect the articular cartilage, the lining of the bones that allows them to glide smoothly against one another during motion. (Injury or loss of articular cartilage results in arthritis.) These structures also act as shock absorbers, distributing load across the knee.
