ACL Tear – Causes, Symptoms, and Expert Treatment

An ACL tear is one of the most common knee injuries, especially among athletes and individuals involved in high-impact or sudden twisting movements. The Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) plays a vital role in stabilizing the knee joint, and a tear can significantly impact your ability to walk, run, or participate in physical activities. At Vedant Hospital, Gota, Dr. Amish Shah offers advanced diagnostic and treatment solutions for ACL injuries, helping patients regain stability, strength, and mobility.

What is an ACL Tear?

An ACL tear refers to a partial or complete rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament, one of the key ligaments that stabilizes the knee. This injury often occurs during sports that involve sudden stops, jumps, or changes in direction—such as football, basketball, or cricket.

Common Causes of ACL Tears

Sudden directional changes while running or jumping
Landing awkwardly from a jump
Direct impact to the knee (sports collision or accident)
Twisting injuries from falls or missteps

Symptoms of an ACL Tear

A popping sound at the time of injury
Sudden swelling and pain in the knee
Instability or the knee "giving out"
Reduced range of motion or stiffness

Diagnosis & Evaluation

Dr. Amish Shah performs a detailed clinical evaluation, along with advanced imaging techniques like MRI, to accurately diagnose the severity of the ACL tear. This ensures a clear treatment plan customized to your needs and lifestyle goals.

Treatment Options for ACL Tear

Conservative Treatment – Mild tears may be managed with rest, bracing, and physiotherapy.
ACL Reconstruction Surgery – For complete tears or active individuals, surgical reconstruction is recommended to restore full knee stability using minimally invasive arthroscopic techniques.
