An ACL tear is one of the most common knee injuries among athletes and active adults. The anterior cruciate ligament connects the thighbone to the shinbone and provides stability for pivoting, cutting, and stopping. When it tears, getting to the right specialist matters.
At Temple Health, our orthopaedic and sports medicine team provides expert care for ACL injuries at multiple locations across Philadelphia. From your first appointment through your return to activity, you have access to a coordinated team of orthopaedic surgeons, sports medicine physicians, physical therapists, and rehabilitation specialists working together.

Most ACL injuries require reconstruction surgery to return to high-demand physical activity. A smaller number of patients may be managed with bracing and physical therapy. Your surgeon will review your injury, activity level, and goals to determine the right approach.
Temple orthopaedic surgeons offer the full range of ACL treatment options, including:
During ACL reconstruction, your surgeon removes the torn ligament and replaces it with a tendon graft from your body or a donor source. The procedure is performed on an outpatient basis, meaning most patients go home the same day.
Your Temple care team will walk you through what to expect before, during, and after surgery at your pre-operative appointment. Your surgeon and physical therapist will develop a plan based on your specific procedure and goals.
