What are the symptoms of an ACL injury?
An ACL injury typically presents with the following symptoms:
A loud "pop" sound or sensation in the knee at the time of injury
Severe pain and inability to continue activity
Rapid swelling in the knee
Loss of range of motion
Instability or "giving way" of the knee when bearing weight
How is an ACL injury diagnosed?
An ACL injury is diagnosed through a combination of physical examination and imaging tests:
Physical Examination: The physiotherapist will assess knee stability, range of motion, and check for tenderness around the knee.
Imaging Tests: An MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) is typically used to confirm the diagnosis and assess the extent of the injury. In some cases, an X-ray might be used to rule out bone fractures.
What are the treatment options for an ACL injury?
Treatment options for an ACL injury depend on the severity of the injury and the patient's activity level:
Non-Surgical Treatment: This may include physical therapy, bracing, and activity modification. It is typically recommended for individuals with partial tears, low activity levels, or those who are not involved in high-demand sports.
Surgical Treatment: ACL reconstruction surgery may be recommended for complete tears, especially for athletes or individuals who want to return to high-demand activities. Post-surgery, a structured rehabilitation program is crucial for recovery and return to activity.
