Physical examination for ACL-tear

Treatment

Diagnosis of a Torn ACL

The orthopedic doctor will begin the diagnosis with a physical examination to check the swelling in the knee. The ACL tear doctor will also recommend diagnostic tests like X-rays, MRI scans and arthroscopy for a detailed and thorough diagnosis and to rule out any fractures. Additionally, your ACL tear doctor may also perform the Lachman’s test and a pivot to check if the ACL is still intact or to assess ACL tears.

ACL Reconstruction Surgery

The surgery to repair a torn ACL is known as ACL reconstruction. Pristyn Care’s ACL tear surgeons in Delhi perform the surgery with the minimally invasive arthroscopic approach. During the arthroscopic ACL tear surgery in Delhi, the surgeon will make small incisions around the knee, usually 2 or 3 instead of one large incision used in the open surgery.

Most ACL tear surgeons in Delhi use arthroscopic approach to perform ACL tear surgery rather than open surgery because-

  • It is easy to view and access the knee structures.
  • Uses smaller incisions instead of one long incision.
  • It can be performed at the same time as the diagnostic arthroscopy.
  • It involves fewer risks and promotes faster recovery.

17 Years Experience

"ACL tear is one of the common orthopedic conditions among teenagers and sports player. And yet a common fear I encounter is, 'If I will be able to play sports again?'. Well yes, you absolutely will. All my patients have. The only four pointers are- 1.) Early diagnosis, 2.)Timely treatment, 3.) A little rest, 4.)Basic physiotherapy. Once all four are met, you will be absolutely fine and fit to return to sports again. "

When is it safe to return to sport after ACL tear surgery?

The best time to return to sports after ACL tear surgery is when your knee feels normal and you feel confident and okay. It is a good thing to get the approval from your ACL tear doctor before returning to sports after your surgery.

How long does it take to recover from ACL surgery?

When can I drive after ACL reconstruction?

Can an ACL tear heal on its own?

Partial ACL tear or a sprained ACL can heal with the use of physiotherapy, RICE treatment, rest and pain medication (to manage pain). A complete ACL tear cannot heal on its own as there is no blood supply to the injured ligament. Surgical reconstruction or repair is usually required for a completely torn ACL.
