An anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tear is one
of the most common and serious knee injuries. The
ligament plays a crucial role in stabilising the
knee, and its injury can cause significant pain
and difficulty in everyday activities. This
article discusses ACL tear treatment. What is an
ACL Tear? The anterior cruciate ligament is the
knee joint that helps stabilise the forward and
backward movement of the leg. ACL injuries are
common in sports that require sudden stops,
changes in direction, or hard contact, such as
skiing or basketball. It can happen to anybody,
regardless of the age or physical condition.
However, women are more likely to experience an
ACL than their male counterparts because of
different factors like landing style and
different anatomy.

• Causes and Symptoms
• Common causes include sudden pivoting, an awkward
  landing from a jump, and direct impact in a
  collision. Symptoms include severe pain,
  swelling, knee instability, and difficulty
  holding your weight on the affected leg.
• Can an ACL Tear Heal Without Surgery?
• A partial tear may not always require surgery,
  but if it is a completely torn ACL, it will not
  heal on its own because of the limited blood
  supply.
• Who Needs ACL Surgery?
• You need an ACL tear surgery in Mumbai if you
  fall into any of the categories
• Active Individuals Athletes live an active
  lifestyle through their various sports. Surgery
  allows them to regain stability and avoid future
  injuries.
• Severe Tears and Instability Other individuals
  with complete ACL tears and persistent knee
  instability may need surgery to go back to their
  everyday lifestyle.
• Young Patients Young people who are involved in
  high-risk sports will benefit from surgery.

• When should you get ACL Surgery?
• Timing is very crucial for ACL Reconstruction.
  Conventionally, surgery is performed 3-6 weeks
  after the injury to allow the swelling to subside
  and restore a bit of mobility through physical
  therapy.
• Performing the Surgery too soon may lead to
  complications like scar tissue buildup and cause
  knee stiffness. However, waiting for over 6
  months increases the risk of the cartilage damage
  completely and would require the best knee
  replacement surgeon in Mumbai for additional
  surgery.
• How Does ACL Reconstruction Surgery Work?
• Graft Selection A new ACL is created in two
  forms an autograft and an allograft. For the
  former, tissues from the patient's hamstring,
  quadriceps, or patellar tendon are used to create
  the ligament. An allograft is obtained from a
  donor, although this is not recommended for
  younger patients.
• Minimally Invasive Technique A small incision is
  made, and specialised instruments are used,
  although a large incision would be required to
  remove the graft.

The Recovery Analysis The timeline of returning
to active activities varies from person to
person. Studies show that up to one-third of
athletes experience another ACL tear on the knee
or the other within two years of returning to
high-impact activities. However, giving more time
to recovery will lower the risk. Complete
recovery is important before resuming high-risk
activities. Final Overview ACL treatment
options depend on your lifestyle and the severity
of the injury. Nonsurgical treatment may suffice
for some, but surgery is often essential for
fully active individuals in need of knee
stability. Each person's injury is unique, so
consult an experienced orthopaedic specialist to
determine the best course of action. Visit Mumbai
Knee Foot Ankle Clinic for the best care.
