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 or activities such as dancing. Sometimes ACL injuries can even occur due to a sudden twisting injury while walking. Depending on the ACL tear, minor tear can be treated without surgery. For higher grade tears, a small surgery involving key-hole/ arthroscope is performed. Our Patients return to their return to their routine activities as early as 24 hours. For further details regarding any knee ligament injury, please fell free to contact us- Dr Vikas Jain, Joint replacement & Arthroscopy surgeon.
