Expert evaluation and treatment for ACL and PCL tears, knee ligament injuries and sports-related knee instability.
Knee ligament injuries can occur during sports, sudden twisting movements, falls or other traumatic events. Injuries to the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) can affect knee stability and may make everyday activities or sports difficult.
At Roopesh Ortho Care & Speciality Clinic, treatment is planned according to the type and severity of the ligament injury, associated knee damage and the patient's activity requirements.
Treatment is selected based on your injury, symptoms, activity level and recovery goals.
The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) helps control forward movement and rotational stability of the knee. An ACL tear commonly occurs during sudden changes of direction, jumping, landing or twisting injuries.
The posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) helps prevent excessive backward movement of the shin bone. PCL injuries can occur following sports trauma, falls or significant impact to the knee.
Pain may develop immediately after the injury or during specific movements and activities.
Swelling may occur soon after an acute knee injury, particularly following significant ligament damage.
Some patients may feel that the knee is giving way or becoming unstable while walking or changing direction.
Pain, swelling or instability may make bending and straightening the knee difficult.
Assessment of pain, swelling, range of motion and knee stability.
Imaging may be advised when required to assess ligament and associated structural injuries.
A personalised treatment plan is selected based on the injury and patient's functional requirements.
Treatment depends on the severity of the injury, associated damage, knee stability and the patient's activity requirements.
Early evaluation can help determine the extent of your knee injury and the most appropriate treatment approach.
