Learn More About ACL Reconstruction

ACL reconstruction is more than just repairing a torn ligament—it’s about restoring full knee stability, strength, and confidence. Dr. Abyar uses modern graft techniques and biologic support (like PRP or stem cells) to promote optimal healing and long-term joint health.

Each procedure is tailored to your anatomy, lifestyle, and activity goals. With a focus on precision, minimal invasiveness, and personalized rehab, Dr. Abyar helps patients across San Antonio return to sport—or daily life—with fewer complications and stronger outcomes.

Understanding ACL Reconstruction

What Is an ACL Tear?

The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is one of the main stabilizers of the knee, commonly injured during sports or sudden twisting motions. ACL tears can cause instability, swelling, and pain—often requiring surgery for active individuals. These injuries are especially prevalent in athletes across San Antonio who participate in soccer, basketball, football, and high-impact workouts.

What Is ACL Reconstruction?

ACL reconstruction is a surgical procedure that replaces the torn ligament with a graft—either from the patient’s own tissue (autograft) or from a donor (allograft). The goal is to restore knee stability, prevent long-term damage, and support a return to full activity. At Orthoify, our approach prioritizes minimally invasive techniques and precise graft placement for a faster, safer recovery.

Types of ACL Grafts Used in Reconstruction

Choosing the right graft is a critical part of successful ACL reconstruction. At Orthoify in San Antonio, Dr. Eildar Abyar selects graft types based on your age, activity level, anatomy, and personal goals—ensuring optimal performance, healing, and durability.

Autograft (Your Own Tissue)

Hamstring Tendon Graft: Common and minimally invasive, with strong tensile strength. Ideal for recreational athletes and younger patients.
Patellar Tendon Graft (BTB): Often preferred for high-demand athletes. Offers firm fixation and lower re-tear rates, but may result in more anterior knee discomfort.
Quadriceps Tendon Graft: A newer option with strong tissue volume and reduced donor site pain.

Allograft (Donor Tissue)

Sourced from a tissue bank and ideal for patients seeking less surgical trauma or faster recovery.
Often used in revision ACL surgeries or in lower-demand, older patients.
Slightly higher failure risk in younger, high-level athletes.
