Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries can be devastating, disrupting your active lifestyle and causing significant knee instability.

What Is ACL Reconstruction?

ACL reconstruction is a surgical procedure designed to replace a torn anterior cruciate ligament, one of the knee’s most important stabilizing structures. This injury commonly affects athletes participating in high-impact sports like soccer, basketball, and football, though anyone can experience an ACL tear through sudden twisting motions or direct trauma to the knee.

Dr. Rothenberg's Surgical Expertise

Dr. Rothenberg specializes in arthroscopic ACL reconstruction in Union, utilizing minimally invasive techniques that result in smaller incisions, less postoperative pain, and quicker recovery times. During the procedure, he carefully replaces the damaged ligament with a graft—either from your own tissue (autograft) or donor tissue (allograft)—precisely positioned to restore natural knee mechanics and stability.

Every patient’s injury is unique, which is why Dr. Rothenberg develops individualized treatment strategies based on activity level, age, and specific injury characteristics. His meticulous surgical approach, combined with evidence-based rehabilitation protocols, optimizes outcomes and minimizes the risk of complications or re-injury.

Comprehensive Rehabilitation Support

Recovery from ACL reconstruction typically spans 6-12 months, progressing through carefully structured phases. Dr. Rothenberg works closely with physical therapists to ensure proper healing, gradual strength restoration, and safe return to sport or work activities.
