ACL Pre & Post Surgery
ACL knee injuries occur when the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in the knee joint is damaged or torn. Symptoms may include instability, pain, swelling, and difficulty with knee movement. Activities involving sudden stops, pivoting, or changes in direction can exacerbate the discomfort.
- Instability in the knee joint, feeling like it may give way or buckle.
- Pain, often felt deep within the knee or along the joint line.
- Swelling and inflammation around the knee.
- Limited range of motion and difficulty bearing weight on the affected knee.
- Feeling of insecurity or unsteadiness in the knee, impacting daily activities and sports participation.
- Persistent pain and swelling, hindering mobility and quality of life.
- Increased risk of further injury or damage to other structures in the knee if left
untreated.
- Rest and avoidance of activities that strain the knee.
- Use of ice therapy to reduce swelling and alleviate pain.
- Administration of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) for pain relief and inflammation reduction.
- Participation in physical therapy programs focused on strengthening the muscles around the knee and improving joint stability.
