I've had these up on the web for a while. In case anyone's interested in watching them here the links are:

(1 long clip where you can clearly see the torn ACL, the bloody mess inside and the removal)

My ACL reconstruction

(series of video clips as I got them from the OS after my surgery)

I also have a series of photos from my OS on how the hamstring is grafted which I can post if anyone's interested.

Warning: some of these clips are quite graphic and bloody.
