Diagnosis for ACL Tear

Before recommending ACL tear repair surgery, the orthopedic specialist performs a comprehensive evaluation to assess the severity of the ligament injury and identify any associated knee damage. Common diagnostic tests include:

  • Physical Examination: The doctor evaluates knee stability, range of motion, swelling, tenderness, and signs of ligament injury through specialized clinical tests.
  • MRI Scan: Magnetic Resonance Imaging provides detailed images of the ACL and surrounding structures, helping identify ligament tears, cartilage damage, or meniscal injuries.
  • X-Rays: X-rays are used to rule out fractures, bone abnormalities, or avulsion injuries associated with ACL tears.
  • Knee Stability Tests: Tests such as the Lachman Test, Pivot Shift Test, and Anterior Drawer Test help determine the extent of ligament instability.
  • Functional Assessment: The orthopedic surgeon may assess walking patterns, balance, and knee function to plan the most suitable treatment approach.

Treatment for ACL Tear Repair

ACL tear repair is commonly performed using minimally invasive arthroscopic techniques to restore knee stability and function. The procedure generally involves the following steps:

  • Anesthesia Administration: General or regional anesthesia is given to ensure the patient remains comfortable throughout the surgery.
  • Arthroscopic Access: Small incisions are made around the knee through which an arthroscope and specialized surgical instruments are inserted.
  • Assessment of Knee Structures: The surgeon examines the ACL, meniscus, cartilage, and other knee structures to identify associated injuries.
  • ACL Reconstruction or Repair: The damaged ligament is repaired or reconstructed using a tissue graft, which is secured in place with specialized fixation devices.
  • Closure and Rehabilitation: After the procedure, the incisions are closed, and a structured rehabilitation program is initiated to restore strength, mobility, and knee function.

What happens when you ignore an ACL injury?

Ligaments do not receive adequate blood supply to heal on their own. Therefore, ACL injuries do not heal on their own. If left untreated, they will progressively get worse and lead to:

  • Instability of the knee joint: An injured ACL joint cannot sustain any weight and progressively becomes more and more unstable till the knee becomes too unstable to even walk.
  • Pain: ACL injuries are riddled with pain. Without treatment, the pain increases over time, and the knee swells up so much that the person starts having difficulty even moving it.
  • Disability: Without due treatment, the knee joint permanently loses its ability to bend and straighten, leading to permanent disability.
  • Arthritis: As the ligament cannot function properly in an ACL injury, its functional load is born by the surrounding tissues such as bones, tendons, and muscles. This additional strain can promote arthritis development in many people.

What does rehabilitation for ACL injury for athletes entail? Typically, rehabilitation for ACL injuries lasts for around 4-5 weeks, but since athletes put more strain on their joints, they need longer rehab periods for better movement and to prevent recurrence of the injury.
Rehabilitation for knee injuries mainly focuses on treating the injuring and providing the patient their desired range of motion for the joint. The treatment is performed with three goals in mind:

  • Stabilizing the joint to promote healing
  • Strengthening the joint to increase the range of motion of the joint
  • Increasing joint flexibility to decrease the chances of re-injury following the return to sports.
  • Most athletes can start training for their sports about 4-6 months after the surgery, but doctors recommend a full rehabilitation before they start participating in the sports again. The rehabilitation period can be divided into:

    • Phase 1: 3-4 months after surgery- Regain strength and improve the flexibility of the joint
    • Phase 2: 4-6 months after surgery- Low-level fitness and performance agility drills
    • Phase 3: 5-8 months after surgery- Jumping exercises
    • Phase 4: 6-9 months after surgery- Single-leg jumping exercises with sports-specific cutting
    • Phase 5: 9-12 months post-surgery- Steadily increase sports drills till former skill is achieved while focusing on preventing re-injury.

Frequently Asked Question

You can book an appointment for ACL surgery at Pristyn Care by either calling the number on the page or filling out the book an appointment form on the page. Once you get in touch with our care coordinator, they will book your appointment based on your location and preference.

Can you walk with a grade 3 ACL tear without getting knee reconstruction surgery?

Yes, if your injury is limited to an ACL tear, you can start walking with a torn ACL once the pain and swelling have subsided. However, it is not recommended as it poses a risk of permanent damage to the knee joint. It also increases the risk of the development of arthritis in the knee joint.

Can I swim after ACL reconstruction?

Swimming is usually recommended after ACL surgery as it strengthens the quadriceps (hamstring muscle), which helps support the tendon graft. However, swimming and running should be avoided for at least 4-5 months after the surgery. If you want to, you can swim with just your arms without paddling your feet 2-3 months after the surgery with your doctor’s approval.

Will I have swelling after knee arthroscopy?

Swelling after knee arthroscopy is very common, especially near incisions. It usually dissipates within a few weeks with over-the-counter medication and ice massage. Physiotherapy after the surgery promotes recovery and helps resolve the swelling much faster.
