Understanding ACL Injuries

The ACL is a vital ligament that stabilizes the knee joint. A knee ligament tear often occurs when the knee twists suddenly or endures direct impact. Recognizing torn ACL symptoms is crucial for early treatment. These may include:

A popping sound or sensation in the knee at the time of injury
Sudden swelling within a few hours
Instability or the feeling that the knee may “give out”
Pain when walking, pivoting, or bearing weight

Treatment Options for ACL Tears

At Louisville Orthopaedic Clinic, we evaluate each patient to determine the best approach for recovery. Treatment may include:

Physical therapy for ACL tear rehabilitation, focusing on strengthening muscles and restoring knee function
Bracing and non-surgical management for partial tears or less active patients
Surgical reconstruction for athletes and individuals with severe anterior cruciate ligament injury
Ongoing follow-up to ensure long-term recovery and reduced risk of re-injury
