Preserve Your Natural ACL and Restore Knee Stability with Expert ACL Repair Surgery in Encinitas by Dr. Samagh
What is ACL Repair Surgery?
ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) repair surgery is a minimally invasive procedure that preserves the torn ligament by reattaching it to the bone instead of replacing it with a graft. This approach is ideal for certain ACL injuries, particularly in younger patients and those with specific tear patterns.
At SPORT, Dr. Sanjum Samagh, a leading ACL repair surgeon in San Diego, and our compassionate and elite team utilize advanced arthroscopic techniques and regenerative therapies to optimize healing and restore knee stability.
What Knee Injuries Can Be Treated with ACL Repair?
Not all ACL tears require reconstruction. ACL repair surgery may be an option if:
- The ligament is torn at its attachment site rather than in the middle
- The ACL is still largely intact and has the potential to heal
- The patient is younger and has a strong healing response
Early intervention is key. ACL repair is most effective/successful when performed soon after injury. If you've experienced knee instability, swelling, or pain, consult Dr. Samagh, the top knee pain specialist in San Diego, for an expert evaluation.
Am I a Good Candidate for ACL Repair Surgery?
You may be a candidate for ACL repair surgery in San Diego if:
- You have a partial ACL tear or a tear near the bone
- Your ligament has good healing potential
- You prefer a procedure that preserves your natural ACL
- You want a quicker recovery compared to a full ACL reconstruction
If ACL repair isn’t suitable, we also offer torn ACL treatment in San Diego, including reconstruction surgery and PRP injection therapy for enhanced healing.
