You should consult an orthopedic surgeon if you are experiencing:
- Sudden pain and swelling after a knee injury
- A popping sound or sensation during the injury
- Difficulty bearing weight on the injured leg
- Knee instability or frequent giving way while walking or running
- Limited range of motion in the knee
- Difficulty returning to sports or physical activities
Delaying treatment for a torn ACL may lead to worsening damage to the cartilage or meniscus, increasing the risk of arthritis later in life.
