Mr Usman Bhatty
Consultant Trauma & Orthopaedic Surgeon
Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) Injuries involve stretching or tearing of a key ligament that stabilises the knee, commonly during twisting, pivoting or sporting activities. Assessment may include clinical examination and MRI, with treatment ranging from physiotherapy to ligament reconstruction. Independent expert witnesses can assess diagnosis, treatment decisions, surgical technique, rehabilitation, ongoing instability and long-term prognosis, including questions of causation and clinical standards in Personal Injury and Clinical Negligence proceedings.
