Knee injuries are common among athletes, fitness enthusiasts, and even individuals performing routine activities. One of the most serious and frequently occurring knee injuries is an ACL (Anterior Cruciate Ligament) injury. The ACL is a crucial ligament that helps stabilize the knee joint, and when injured, it can cause significant discomfort and limit movement. At the Nagpur Arthroscopy & Sports Injury Centre, under the expert care of Dr. Siddharth Jain, patients receive advanced diagnosis and treatment for ACL injuries, ensuring quicker recovery and return to normal activities.
The Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) is one of the four major ligaments in the knee that connects the thighbone (femur) to the shinbone (tibia). It plays an important role in maintaining knee stability, especially during sports activities that involve sudden stops, jumps, or changes in direction.
When the ACL gets stretched or torn, it leads to instability and pain in the knee. This condition often requires specialized treatment, including physiotherapy or surgery, depending on the severity.
Recognizing the symptoms early is essential for proper treatment. Some common signs include:
Many patients report hearing or feeling a “pop” at the moment of injury. This is often the first indicator that the ACL may have been torn.
Following the injury, athletes or individuals often cannot continue playing or performing activities due to severe discomfort and weakness in the knee.
Within a few hours of the injury, the knee tends to swell quickly due to internal bleeding inside the joint.
ACL injuries usually result in stiffness and reduced flexibility, making it difficult to bend or straighten the knee fully.
ACL injuries commonly occur during:
Sudden changes in direction (cutting or pivoting movements)
Jumping and landing incorrectly
Direct collision or impact on the knee (common in contact sports)
Overstretching or twisting of the knee during daily activities
At Nagpur Arthroscopy & Sports Injury Centre, Dr. Siddharth Jain provides individualized treatment plans based on the severity of the injury.
Rest, Ice, Compression, and Elevation (RICE)
Bracing to stabilize the knee
Physiotherapy to strengthen surrounding muscles
For severe or complete ACL tears, arthroscopic ACL reconstruction surgery may be recommended. This minimally invasive procedure helps restore knee stability and allows patients to return to sports and active lifestyles.
