Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) repair is frequently utilized in conjunction with knee arthroscopy, a minimally invasive surgical technique used to evaluate and treat joint issues when the ligament is ruptured.
Signs That Call for ACL Reconstruction
ACL tears are frequently caused by:
- Sports injuries (direct impact, abrupt rotation, or jumping).
- Trauma (falls, auto accidents).
Symptoms include:
- A "popping" sound as the damage occurs.
- Within hours, there is severe pain and swelling.
- Instability in the knee (sense of "giving way").
- Range of motion is limited.
- Having trouble walking or carrying weight.
