What is an ACL Tear?

The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is one of the key stabilising ligaments of the knee joint. A tear or rupture can result from sudden pivoting, direct impact, or sports-related stress, leading to pain, swelling, and joint instability. Without timely care, an untreated ACL injury can cause progressive cartilage damage and long-term knee problems.

At Pristyn Care in Coimbatore, our orthopaedic specialists evaluate each patient thoroughly before recommending a treatment plan. Depending on the severity of the tear, options range from structured physiotherapy and bracing for partial injuries to arthroscopic ACL reconstruction for complete ruptures. The goal is to restore full knee function and help patients return to their daily activities or sport safely.

Our team uses minimally invasive arthroscopic techniques that involve small incisions, reduced tissue disruption, and faster recovery compared to traditional open surgery. Most patients are able to resume light activities within a few weeks following the procedure.

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.

ACL Reconstruction Surgery – Procedure Overview

ACL reconstruction is performed using arthroscopic techniques, making it a minimally invasive procedure with high success rates. The surgeon creates small portals around the knee to insert a camera and instruments, removing the damaged ligament and replacing it with a graft.

Graft options commonly used include the patellar tendon, hamstring tendon, or a donor (allograft) tissue. The choice depends on the patient’s age, activity level, and surgeon’s assessment. The graft is secured using fixation devices and gradually integrates with the bone over several months.

The procedure is typically performed under regional or general anaesthesia and takes approximately 1 to 2 hours. Patients are usually discharged the same day or within 24 hours. Post-operative physiotherapy is a critical part of recovery, helping restore strength, range of motion, and joint stability. Most patients resume routine activities within a few weeks, with full return to sport guided by rehabilitation milestones.

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.

How can I book an appointment at Pristyn Care for ACL reconstruction in Coimbatore?

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.

I love doing gymnastics, but I realized that excess gymnastics activities like handstands can pose a genuine problem. I heard a pop sound after my gymnastics class, and I knew something was wrong. After that, I went through immense pain and discomfort and wanted to treat it immediately. I wasn't aware of whom to consult but I found out about pristyn care through their website. I consulted pristyn care, and I must say their timely assistance made a huge difference in my life. They suggested arthroscopic surgery. I went for the surgery without any difficulty, and the recovery period was also very smooth and stress-free. The entire treatment experience was just perfect. Thanks, Pristyn for giving me a pain free life.
