Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction surgery
Don’t let an ACL injury affect your everyday life. Dr Khalil Masri specialises in anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction surgery to help you regain stability and mobility.
An injury to the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) can make the knee unstable, painful and severely restrict movement. This type of injury is common among athletes and active individuals, but can also occur after a bad fall or a sudden movement. When it is ruptured, the ligament cannot regenerate on its own, and surgery is often the best solution for restoring a stable, functional joint.
How does an ACL rupture occur?
This ligament is essential for maintaining knee balance. It is particularly stressed during rapid changes of direction, jumps or sudden stops. Injuries often occur in sports such as skiing, football, basketball and tennis, but can also be caused by an accident or a direct blow to the knee.

How is the operation performed?
The operation involves replacing the damaged ligament with a graft, which may be taken directly from the patient or from a donor. The operation is performed under arthroscopy, a minimally invasive technique that reduces pain and speeds recovery. The aim is to restore optimal mobility and avoid long-term complications such as premature osteoarthritis.
What results can I expect?
After surgery, a rehabilitation programme is essential to strengthen the knee and return to normal activity. In general, most patients recover good joint stability and can gradually resume their physical activities within a few months.

Dr. Masri was referred to me by a friend after I tore my ACL. I am 62 years old and was very concerned i would not be able to be as active as i had been in the past. Well was I ever lucky to find this doctor. What a prince of a guy and a gifted doctor. The surgery and recovery was exactly as he explained. I am skiing again and playing tennis and his care and kindness is beyond anything I have ever seen. 5 stars is not enough for this man.
