What is referred to as an ACL tear?

In the core of your knee, the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is damaged, resulting in an ACL tear. The ligament may be completely torn, or it may be partially torn. Tearing your ACL will be excruciatingly painful. You may hear or feel a popping sound as your knee gives out. In most cases, your knee will begin to swell right away.

Symptoms that might indicate an ACL tear include:

An anterior cruciate ligament injury can sound like a "pop" and feel like your knee gives way under your weight. Other common signs and symptoms are:

  • Swelling and pain
  • Your knee will swell within 24 hours.
  • The meniscus in your knee, which acts as a shock absorber, can be further damaged if you try to return to sports with an unstable knee.
  • Loss of mobility in all directions
  • Clicking in the knee
  • Walking with discomfort

The causative factors that might lead to an ACL tear:

A ligament is a strong band of tissue that connects two or more bones. In order to keep your knee joint stable, you need the ACL, a ligament that joins your thigh bone to your shinbone.

Sports and fitness activities that generate stress on the knee are common causes of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury.

  • Abruptly reducing speed and reversing course (cutting)
  • Keeping your foot firmly grounded in the ground while pivoting.
  • Jumping off a high point & landing uncomfortably.
  • Halting abruptly
  • In the event of a collision, such as a football tackle, such as a knee strike.

Understanding the risk factors of the condition:

ACL injuries can be caused by a variety of reasons, including:

  • A woman's anatomy, muscle power and hormonal effects may make her more susceptible to injury than her male counterparts.
  • Doing sports like soccer, basketball, gymnastics, and slalom skiing, to name a few.
  • Lack of conditioning
  • Incorrect movement patterns, such as shifting the knees inward while squatting, can lead to injuries.
  • Don't go out in shoes that don't fit right
  • Using poor sports equipment, such as ski bindings that aren't correctly fitted.
  • Playing on a synthetic field

FAQ Questions? Answered!

The ACL cannot heal on its own because of the lack of blood flow. The ACL is required for athletes to safely perform the sharp motions required in sports, hence ACL repair surgery is frequently required.
The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tear is one of the most dreaded sports and professional injuries, and has ruined the careers of many high-profile players. People who have a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tend to be severely debilitated for a long period of time and may never fully recover.
A tiny ACL tear can grow in size and cause additional discomfort and laxity in the knee if it is not treated right away. Without a properly functioning ACL, other knee structures are subjected to increased strain, resulting in additional knee injuries.
When an ACL damage occurs, many people hear a pop or experience a "popping" feeling in the knee. Swelling, instability, and pain are all possible side effects of a sprained or injured knee.
Both full and partial acl injuries are possible. While surgery is nearly always required to repair a fully torn ACL, noninvasive techniques can be useful in treating partial ACL injuries. When an ACL is torn, the severity of the injury is evaluated as sprains (a sprain is a stretch or tear in a ligament).
