Medical diagnosis procedure

How is ACL Tear Diagnosed?

An orthopedic doctor will:

  • Perform a Physical Examination – to assess knee stability, swelling, and movement.
  • Review Medical History – to understand how the injury occurred.
  • Order Imaging Tests such as:
  • MRI Scan – to confirm ligament damage and check for other injuries.
  • X-ray – to rule out fractures.
  • Ultrasound – in some cases, to view soft tissue structures.

Advanced Treatment Options for ACL Tear Surgery

Depending on the severity of the injury, treatment options include:

  • Non-surgical Management – For partial tears or less active individuals, physical therapy, bracing, and lifestyle changes may help.
  • Arthroscopic ACL Reconstruction – A minimally invasive surgery where a graft from your own body (autograft) or a donor (allograft) replaces the torn ligament.
  • Synthetic Grafts – In rare cases, artificial ligaments may be used.
  • Combined Ligament Surgery – If other knee ligaments are damaged, multiple repairs may be done in one surgery.

Recovery Time

Recovery after ACL surgery depends on the surgical method, the patient’s age, activity level, and adherence to rehabilitation. On average, patients can expect 6 to 9 months before returning to full sports activity, though basic mobility often returns within a few weeks with proper physiotherapy.

What to Expect: Before, During & After Procedure

  • Before Surgery – You will undergo pre-operative tests, meet with your surgeon, and discuss graft options. Physical therapy may be recommended before surgery to strengthen the knee.
  • During Surgery – The procedure is performed arthroscopically under anesthesia. Small incisions are made, the torn ligament is removed, and the graft is fixed in place using screws or fixation devices.
  • After Surgery – You will be monitored in recovery, given pain management medications, and provided with instructions for using crutches, wearing a knee brace, and starting physiotherapy.

 

Recovery Timeline & Post-Treatment Care

  • Week 1-2: Focus on reducing swelling and regaining basic knee movement.
  • Week 3-6: Gradual strengthening exercises, partial weight-bearing.
  • Month 3-4: Improved stability, light jogging may be possible.
  • Month 6+: Return to sports with full clearance from your doctor.

Post-surgery care includes:

  • Regular physiotherapy sessions.
  • Avoiding high-impact activities until advised.
  • Maintaining a healthy diet for faster healing.
