The Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) is one of four key ligaments stabilising the knee joint. It connects the shinbone to the thighbone and prevents the shin from sliding forward during movement. ACL tears are among the most common sports-related knee injuries, often occurring during sudden pivoting, landing, or direct impact to the knee.
Common signs of an ACL tear include a popping sensation at the time of injury, rapid swelling, knee instability, and difficulty bearing weight. Without timely treatment, an untreated ACL injury can lead to chronic knee instability and long-term joint damage.
At Pristyn Care, our orthopedic specialists in Navi Mumbai perform thorough clinical evaluations - including physical tests and MRI imaging - to confirm the diagnosis and recommend the most appropriate course of treatment, whether conservative management or surgical reconstruction.
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:
ACL reconstruction is performed using minimally invasive arthroscopic techniques, allowing the surgeon to replace the damaged ligament with a tissue graft through small incisions. The most commonly used grafts are the patellar tendon or hamstring tendon from the patient’s own body (autograft), which offer reliable long-term stability.
The procedure is typically performed under general or spinal anaesthesia. The surgeon uses a camera-guided arthroscope to remove the torn ligament and secure the new graft in place using specialised fixation devices. This approach minimises soft tissue disruption and supports a faster recovery compared to open surgery.
Most patients begin physiotherapy within a few days of surgery. Return to daily activities is typically possible within 4 to 6 weeks, while athletes may resume sport-specific training after a structured rehabilitation programme, usually spanning several months.

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:
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:

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.
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 doctorâs approval.
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.
