1. ACL

ligament in the knee that connects the thighbone to the shinbone.

ACL Injury FAQ

ACL Injury FAQ

What is the ACL? ▶
The Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) is one of the key ligaments in the knee that provides stability by preventing excessive forward movement of the shin bone relative to the thigh bone.
What Causes an ACL Injury? ▶
ACL injuries commonly occur due to sudden stops, pivoting, improper landing, direct impact, or repetitive stress over time.
What are the Symptoms of an ACL Tear? ▶
Symptoms of an ACL tear include:
  • A loud "pop" sound at the time of injury.
  • Severe pain and rapid swelling.
  • Instability or feeling of the knee "giving out."
  • Difficulty bearing weight and limited range of motion.
How is an ACL Injury Diagnosed? ▶
A doctor may diagnose an ACL tear using:
  • Physical examination tests such as the Lachman test, anterior drawer test, and pivot shift test.
  • MRI scans to assess ligament and cartilage damage.
  • X-rays to rule out fractures that may occur alongside ligament injuries.
What are the Treatment Options? ▶
Treatment options depend on severity and patient activity level:
  • Non-Surgical Treatment: Includes physiotherapy, bracing, and strengthening exercises for those with partial tears or low physical activity.
  • Surgical Treatment: ACL reconstruction surgery using grafts (from the patient’s own hamstring, patellar tendon, or donor tissue) for athletes or active individuals who need full knee stability.
Post-treatment rehabilitation is crucial to regain strength, flexibility, and function.

2. Meniscus

The C-shaped medial meniscus is on the inside part of the knee

Meniscus Injury FAQ

Meniscus Injury FAQ

What is the Meniscus? ▶
The meniscus is a C-shaped piece of cartilage in the knee that acts as a cushion between the thighbone (femur) and shinbone (tibia). It helps absorb shock, stabilize the knee, and distribute weight evenly across the joint.
What Causes a Meniscus Tear? ▶
Meniscus tears can occur due to:
  • Sudden twisting or pivoting movements.
  • Deep squatting or heavy lifting.
  • Direct trauma to the knee, such as a sports injury.
  • Age-related degeneration leading to weakened cartilage.
What are the Symptoms of a Meniscus Tear? ▶
Symptoms include:
  • Pain and swelling in the knee.
  • Stiffness and limited range of motion.
  • A popping sensation at the time of injury.
  • Locking or catching of the knee when moving.
How is a Meniscus Tear Diagnosed? ▶
Diagnosis involves:
  • Physical examination and movement tests.
  • MRI scans to assess the extent of the tear.
  • X-rays to rule out other knee injuries.
What are the Treatment Options for a Meniscus Tear? ▶
Treatment options include:
  • Rest, ice, compression, and elevation (RICE) for minor injuries.
  • Physical therapy to strengthen the knee and restore mobility.
  • Meniscus repair surgery for severe or repairable tears.
  • Partial meniscectomy to remove damaged tissue if repair is not possible.
What is Recovery Like After Meniscus Surgery? ▶
Recovery depends on the type of surgery:
  • Physical therapy starts immediately to regain strength and motion.
  • Meniscus repair may require limited weight-bearing for 4-6 weeks.
  • Full recovery can take 3-6 months, depending on severity.
