ACL Reconstruction Surgery at HSR Layout:

Advanced Care by Dr. Akshay ShettyThe Anterior Cruciate Ligament, commonly called ACL, is one of the important stabilizing ligaments making up the knee joint, which connects the femur (thigh bone) to the tibia (the shin bone). Such injuries are common among athletes engaged in sports activities like basketball, football, badminton, etc., which involve sudden pivoting movements or high-impact actions. If you have suffered an ACL Injury, the best treatment for restoring your knee to normality would be an ACL reconstruction surgery.

What Causes ACL Tear?

ACL tears can arise from:

Twisting injuries in athletics

Sudden slowing and pivoting

Jumps to ground fall from a significant height

Blows in falls or contact sports.

In such cases, knee instability arises to an extent where the patient cannot carry weight or perform a normal activity.

Symptoms of ACL Tear

The common symptoms characteristic of an ACL tear include: Acute sudden pain in the knee Joint swelling around the joint Difficulty bearing weight or walking on the affected leg Sensation of the knee giving way with movement Inability to perform heavy or other strenuous activities due to instability.

Acute First Aid for ACL Tears: R.I.C.E. Treatment

In the first two days after trauma, R.I.C.E. therapy should provide pain relief and swelling reduction:

Rest the knee and avoid weight-bearing activities.

Ice the knee every two hours for twenty minutes.

Compression uses either a crepe bandage or brace to control swelling.

Elevation of the leg reduces swelling.

Diagnosis and Options for Treatment

Confirmation of the ACL tear relies on clinical examination and MRI scan.

Nonoperative Treatment

In these less serious cases, some non-operative treatments like anti-inflammatory medications, therapy with physiotherapy, or activity modification will help especially for individuals who have a less active lifestyle. However, non-surgical management can lead to instability increasing the chances of re-injury such as meniscus tear or early arthritis.
