ACL Tear

Introduction to ACL Tear

The Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) is one of the key stabilizing ligaments in the knee joint. It connects the thigh bone (femur) to the shin bone (tibia) and plays a vital role in controlling knee movement.

An ACL tear is a common yet serious knee injury, especially among athletes involved in sports requiring sudden stops, pivots, or jumps—such as football, basketball, and cricket. However, ACL injuries are not limited to athletes; they may also occur due to accidents, falls, or twisting movements in daily life.

ACL tears can be partial or complete, and they cause pain, swelling, and a feeling of “instability” or “giving way” in the knee. Traditionally, surgery was considered the only option, but advanced non-surgical pain management and regenerative treatments at Epione are now helping many patients recover function without invasive procedures.

Causes of ACL Tear

  • Sudden change in direction while running

  • Improper landing after a jump

  • Direct blow to the knee (sports or accidents)

  • Twisting motion of the knee while the foot is planted

  • Weak surrounding muscles and poor conditioning

Symptoms of ACL Tear

  • A popping sound at the time of injury

  • Sudden, severe knee pain

  • Rapid swelling within hours

  • Instability or “giving way” sensation

  • Difficulty bearing weight on the knee

  • Reduced range of motion

Diagnosis at Epione

Accurate diagnosis is crucial to differentiate ACL tears from other knee injuries. At Epione, we use:

  • Clinical examination: Special tests such as Lachman test and pivot-shift test.

  • Imaging: MRI to confirm ligament damage and assess cartilage or meniscus involvement.

  • X-rays: To rule out fractures.

This ensures a clear treatment roadmap customized for every patient.
