Understanding ACL Tears
An ACL tear is a common injury to the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in the knee, often occurring during sports or physical activities that involve sudden stops, jumps, or changes in direction. ACL tears can range from partial to complete and can significantly impact knee stability and mobility. Proper diagnosis and treatment are essential for recovery and preventing further damage.
Symptoms of an ACL Tear
- Pain and Swelling: Immediate and severe pain following the injury, accompanied by swelling.
- Instability: A feeling of the knee giving way or buckling, especially during weight-bearing activities.
- Loss of Range of Motion: Difficulty in fully bending or straightening the knee.
- Popping Sensation: A loud "pop" sound at the time of injury.
- Difficulty Walking: Trouble putting weight on the affected leg and walking normally.
