An ACL injury is a tear or sprain of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) —one of the major ligaments in your knee. ACL injuries most commonly occur during sports that involve sudden stops or changes in direction, jumping and landing — such as soccer, basketball, football and downhill skiing. Many people hear or feel a "pop" in the knee when an ACL injury occurs. Your knee may swell, feel unstable and become too painful to bear weight.
ACL injuries often happen during sports and fitness activities that can put stress on the knee:
When the ligament is damaged, there is usually a partial or complete tear of the tissue. A mild injury may stretch the ligament but leave it intact.
There are a number of factors that increase your risk of an ACL injury, including:
Programs to reduce ACL injury include:
Training to strengthen muscles of the legs hips and core as well as training to improve jumping and landing techniques may help to reduce the higher ACL injury risk associated with women athletes.
Often the diagnosis can be made on the basis of the physical exam alone, but you may need tests to rule out other causes and to determine the severity of the injury. These tests may include:
Prompt first-aid care can reduce pain and swelling immediately after an injury to your knee. Follow the R.I.C.E. model of self-care at home:
Your doctor may recommend surgery if:
During ACL reconstruction, the surgeon removes the damaged ligament and replaces it with a segment of tendon tissue similar to a ligament that connects muscle to bone. This replacement tissue is called a graft. Your surgeon will use a piece of tendon from another part of your knee or a tendon from a deceased donor.
After surgery you'll resume another course of rehabilitative therapy. Successful ACL reconstruction paired with rigorous rehabilitation can usually restore stability and function to your knee.
There's no set time frame for athletes to return to play. Recent research indicates that up to one-third of athletes sustain another tear in the same or opposite knee within two years. A longer recovery period may reduce the risk of reinjury.
In general, it takes as long as a year or more before athletes can safely return to play. Doctors and physical therapists will perform tests to gauge your knee's stability, strength, function and readiness to return to sports activities at various intervals during your rehabilitation. It's important to ensure that strength, stability and movement patterns are optimized before you return to an activity with a risk for ACL injury.
Q. How is avulsion fracture of the knee treated?
Treatment of an avulsion fracture typically includes resting and icing the affected area, followed by controlled exercises that help restore range of motion, improve muscle strength and promote bone healing. Most avulsion fractures heal very well without surgical intervention.
Q. What is worse ACL or PCL tear?
The pain from an ACL tear usually will be more severe than that of a PCL tear. There also may be significant (or total) loss of range of motion of the knee.
Q. What happens if a torn ACL is not repaired?
If nothing is done, the ACL injury may turn into chronic ACL deficiency. Your knee may become more and more unstable and may give out more often. The abnormal sliding within the knee also can hurt cartilage. It can trap and damage the menisci in the knee and can also lead to early osteoarthritis.
Q. How long does it take to recover from ACL tear without surgery?
The knee joint has lost functionality. The prognosis for a partially torn ACL is good. Physical therapy will likely be required, but rehabilitation and recovery can happen within 3 months without surgical intervention. In some partial tears, surgery may be recommended.
Q. How long does arthroscopic ACL surgery take?
The procedure usually takes less than two hours. It will require an incision to remove a tendon if you are undergoing an autograft, in which a tendon from another part of your body is inserted in your knee.
