Despite ACL surgeries being more readily available than ever before, torn knee ligaments are still one of the most dreaded injuries for athletes and other active people. The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is responsible for stabilizing the knee. If it tears after a sudden wrenching movement, then stability and ease of motion are destroyed.

Fortunately, stem cell treatment may now represent a viable way for some patients to repair torn knee ligaments while avoiding invasive ACL surgeries.
