anatomy<\/strong><\/span><\/h2><p>Three bones come together to form your knee joint: the thigh bone (femur), the shinbone (tibia), and the ball joint (patella).\u00a0Two wedge-shaped pieces of cartilage act as &#8220;shock absorbers&#8221; between your femur and tibia.\u00a0These are called menisci.\u00a0They are strong and elastic to help cushion the joint and keep it

tears of the menisci often occur during sports.\u00a0Players can squat and twist the knee, causing a tear.\u00a0Sometimes there is direct contact involved, for example a tackle in rugby.\u00a0Regular movements that are made during work can cause injuries.<\/p><p>Older people are more likely to have degenerative meniscal tears.\u00a0The cartilage weakens and wears away, thinning over time.\u00a0Worn and aged fabric is more prone to tears.\u00a0Just twisting hard when getting up from a chair could be enough of a tear if the menisci have weakened with age.<\/p><h2><strong><span

to play with a tear.\u00a0After 2 or 3 days, your knee will gradually become stiffer and more swollen.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div

and its location.<\/p><p>The outer third of a meniscus has a large blood supply.\u00a0A tear in this &#8220;red&#8221; area may heal on its own, or can often be repaired with surgery.\u00a0A longitudinal tear is an example of this type of tear.\u00a0In contrast, the inner two-thirds of the meniscus lack a blood supply.\u00a0Without blood nutrients, tears in this &#8220;white&#8221; area cannot heal.\u00a0These complex tears often occur in thin, worn cartilage.\u00a0Because the pieces cannot be reattached to regenerate, tears in this area are usually surgically trimmed.<\/p><p>In addition to the type of tear you have, your age, activity level, and any related injuries will all influence your treatment plan.<\/p><h4><strong>NON-<span style=\"color: #000000;\">SURGICAL<\/span> <span style=\"color: #003366;\">TREATMENT<\/span><\/strong><\/h4><p>If your tear is small and at the outer edge of the meniscus, it may not require surgical repair.\u00a0As long as your symptoms don&#8217;t persist and your knee is stable, non-surgical treatment may be all you need.<\/p><p><strong>RICE:<\/strong>\u00a0The RICE protocol is effective for most sports-related injuries.\u00a0RICE is an acronym that stands for R=Rest, I=Ice, C=Compression and E=Elevation.<\/p><ul><li>R=Rest.\u00a0Take a break from the activity that caused the injury.\u00a0Your doctor may recommend that you use crutches to take weight off your leg.<\/li><li>I=Ice.\u00a0Use cold packs for 20 minutes at a time, several times a day.\u00a0Do not apply ice directly to the skin.<\/li><li>C=Compression.\u00a0To prevent further swelling and blood loss, wear an elastic compression bandage.<\/li><li>E=Elevation.\u00a0To reduce swelling, lean back when you rest and raise your leg above the level of your heart.<\/li><\/ul><p>Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs.\u00a0Medicines like aspirin and ibuprofen reduce pain and inflammation.<\/p><p>SURGICAL TREATMENT<\/p><p>If symptoms persist with nonsurgical treatment, your doctor might suggest arthroscopic surgery.<\/p><p><strong>Procedure:<\/strong>\u00a0Knee arthroscopy is one of the most commonly performed surgical procedures.\u00a0In this procedure, a miniature camera is inserted through a small incision.\u00a0Arthroscopy gives a clear view of the inside of the knee.\u00a0Your orthopedic surgeon inserts miniature surgical instruments through other small incisions to cut down or repair the tear.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element

injuries is a sprain or tear of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL).\u00a0Athletes who participate in high-demand sports like soccer, football, and basketball are more likely to injure their ACLs.\u00a0If you have injured an ACL, you may need surgery to restore full function of your knee.\u00a0This will depend on several factors, such as the severity of the injury and your activity level.<\/p><p>ANATOMY<\/p><p>Normal knee anatomy, front view Three bones join to form your knee joint: the thigh bone (femur), shin bone (tibia), and patella.\u00a0The patella is located on the anterior face of the joint to provide some protection.\u00a0Bones are connected to other bones by ligaments.\u00a0There are four primary ligaments in your knee.\u00a0These act like strong ropes to hold the bones together and keep your knee stable.<\/p><p>COLLATERAL LIGAMENTS<\/p><p>These are located on the sides of your knee.\u00a0The medial collateral ligament is on the inner surface and the lateral collateral ligament is on the outer surface of the joint.\u00a0These control the sideways movement of your knee and protect by preventing unusual movement.<\/p><p>CRUCIATE LIGAMENTS<\/p><p>These are located on the inside of your knee joint.\u00a0They cross each other in an &#8220;X&#8221; shape, with the anterior cruciate ligament in front and the posterior cruciate ligament behind.\u00a0The cruciate ligaments control the movement of your knee back and forth.<\/p><p>The anterior cruciate ligament runs diagonally through the middle of the knee.\u00a0It prevents the tibia from slipping out of position, which would leave it in front of the femur, and also provides rotational stability to the knee.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>DESCRIPTION<\/p><p>About half of all anterior cruciate ligament injuries occur with damage to other structures in the knee, such as the articular cartilage, meniscus, or other ligaments.\u00a0Injured ligaments are considered &#8220;sprains&#8221; and are graded based on a scale of severity.<\/p><p><strong>Grade 1 sprains:<\/strong>\u00a0The ligament is slightly damaged in a grade 1 sprain. It has been slightly stretched, but is still able to help keep the knee joint stable.<\/p><p><strong>Grade 2 sprains :<\/strong>\u00a0A grade 2 sprain stretches the ligament to the point where it becomes loose.\u00a0It is often called a partial ligament tear.<\/p><p><strong>Grade 3 Sprains:<\/strong>\u00a0This type of sprain is more commonly called a complete ligament tear.\u00a0The ligament has been divided into two pieces and the knee joint is unstable.<\/p><p>Partial tears of the anterior cruciate ligament are rare;\u00a0most ACL injuries are complete or near-complete tears.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section

TREATMENT<\/span><\/strong><\/h4><ul><li>Treatment for an ACL tear will vary based on the individual needs of the patient.\u00a0For example, the young athlete who performs agility sports will most likely require surgery to safely resume sports.\u00a0The less active person, usually older, could return to a more sedentary lifestyle without surgery.<\/li><li>NON-SURGICAL TREATMENT<\/li><li>A torn ACL will not heal without surgery.\u00a0But non-surgical treatment could be effective for patients who are elderly or have a very low activity level.\u00a0If the overall stability of the knee is intact, your doctor may recommend simple non-surgical options.<\/li><li><strong>Braces\/immobilizers:<\/strong>Your doctor may recommend a knee brace to protect your knee from instability.\u00a0To further protect your knee, you may be given crutches to keep your leg from bearing weight.<\/li><li><strong>Physical therapy:<\/strong>As the swelling goes down, a careful rehabilitation program is started.\u00a0Specific exercises will restore your knee function and strengthen the leg muscles that support the knee.<\/li><li>SURGICAL TREATMENT<\/li><li><strong>Ligament Reconstruction:<\/strong>Most ACL tears cannot be reattached with sutures (stitches).\u00a0To surgically repair the ACL and restore knee stability, the ligament must be reconstructed.\u00a0Your doctor will replace your torn ligament with a tissue graft.\u00a0This graft acts as a scaffold that will support the growth of the new ligament.<\/li><li>Grafts can be obtained from various sources.\u00a0They are often taken from the patella tendon, which runs between the kneecap and the tibia.\u00a0The hamstrings on the back of the thigh are a common source of grafts.\u00a0Sometimes a quadriceps tendon is used, which runs from the kneecap to the inside of the thigh.\u00a0Finally, a cadaveric graft (allograft) can be used.<\/li><li>There are advantages and disadvantages to all graft sources.\u00a0You should discuss graft options with your orthopedic surgeon to help determine which is best for you.<\/li><li>It takes time for the tissue to regrow, so it could take six months or more before an athlete can resume sports after surgery.<\/li><li><strong>Procedure:<\/strong>Surgery to reconstruct an ACL is done with an arthroscope using small incisions.\u00a0Arthroscopic surgery is less invasive.\u00a0The benefits of less invasive techniques include less pain from surgery, less hospital stay, and quicker recovery times.<\/li><li>Unless ACL reconstruction is the treatment for a combined ligament injury, it usually isn&#8217;t done right away.\u00a0This delay gives an opportunity for the swelling to resolve, and allows a return of movement before surgery.\u00a0Performing an ACL reconstruction too early greatly increases the risk of arthrofibrosis, or scar formation in the joint, which would risk loss of motion in the knee.<\/li><\/ul><h4>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 REHABILITATION<\/h4><ul><li>In any of the two cases, treatment with surgery or without surgery, rehabilitation plays a fundamental role in resuming daily activities.\u00a0A physical therapy program will help you regain strength and movement in your knee.\u00a0If you have surgery, physical therapy first focuses on restoring movement to the joint and surrounding muscles.\u00a0This is followed by a strengthening program designed to protect the new ligament.\u00a0This strengthening gradually increases the tension across the ligament.\u00a0The final phase of rehabilitation aims at a functional return that adapts to the athlete&#8217;s
