Welcome! We invite you to experience the Forest Health Medical Center difference!

FHMC is different from either a general medical hospital or a large university medical center. We provide you with specialty surgery and personal care by the best specialty surgeons and staff.

Just like the major medical centers we have the latest modern equipment and facilities, but that is not what makes us different. The personal care you will receive is unlike the typical impersonal healthcare offered in most large university medical centers. At FHMC we are committed to caring for you as our family.

Knee - ACL Reconstruction with Graft

The knee is a complex joint held together by four ligaments that hold the knee together, provide stability and allow for movement. One of the ligaments deep inside the knee joint is called the Anterior Cruciate ligament (ACL). When the ACL is torn, reconstruction is accomplished by arthroscopic surgery using a piece of tendon (often from the hamstring) as a graft.
