Suffered an ACL injury in Singapore? Whether you’re an athlete or an active individual, an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tear can be a major setback—but recovery is entirely possible with the right care. This in-depth guide explains everything you need to know about ACL reconstruction, including causes, symptoms, treatment options, and the myths that often cause confusion.

Learn about the early signs of injury like a “popping” sensation, swelling, and instability, and understand how physiotherapy—before and after surgery—plays a critical role in restoring strength and function.
