One of the most common knee injuries in young athletes is an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) sprain or tear. Join us for a three-part webinar series with the pediatric sports medicine team at UCLA Orthopaedic Surgery who will cover everything you need to know about ACL tears.
In this first part of the series, UCLA orthopaedic surgeon Jennifer Beck, MD, will talk about the anatomy of ACL tears, why they are reconstructed and what happens if they are not reconstructed. Additionally, she will discuss preoperative surgery considerations. #UCLAMDChat

It is literally my senior year of high school and I injured my right knee back in July at a softball tournament.. I waited 6 weeks to go to the orthopedic doctor.. After he did the test exams on me knee seeing and feeling it’s movement he thinking it’s my ACL... or “maybe even partially torn” So now I have to get in MRI in a week and half and I will get my result back that same week I get my MRI done. Depending on the results say I “may or may not need surgery”. When I injured my knee i remember in that moment I was going to catch a pop fly but before I was even able to catch the ball my knee twisted popped two times and I fell to the ground. It’s just I’m worried and scared about what my MRI will be. It also just sucks that I will not be able to finish out my senior year playing high school ball or travel ball.

I am 15 years old and I just tore my ACL for the second time now. My parents won’t allow me to play my favorite sport anymore which is basketball 😔 do you have any tips for the future so that my knee will become stabil again ? And do you think it’s possible that I will play basketball again? Thank you🙏

Kariem Essa it isn’t gonna go back to ‘normal’ unless you got the surgery done, i suggest to use your patellar tendon graft for better results, rather than the hamstring which had higher risk of reinjury base on studies, don’t ever let anyone tell you to stop doing what you love to do, if you see yourself as a basketball player then go and pursue the sport, if you hadn’t had surgery yet, make a way to have one, and work your ass off every single day to get better, only you can stop you man, you’re just 15 you gotta lot of time to recover and be on shape, just be patient and listen to your body, don’t play any sports til you get your acl fixed, for you not to do any other problems or harm to your knee. And another thing is to PRAY do it again but this time do it with God

Had a traumatic ACL tear/Meniscus injury in 2017, worked very hard to get back to normal with the help of regular exercise and tons of Mountain Biking and was doing VERY well. Just two weeks ago I managed to re-injure myself playing a very light game of basketball, there was no blunt force and the move that injured me was very light in force. I'll find out what happens in a few weeks, crossing my fingers that it isn't my ACL again... Very gutted....

Dark Light yeah i got surgery a year ago!! it turned out to not be an acl tear but a birth defect piece of cartilage that ripped and damaged the inside of my knee pretty badly. recovery was about the same as an acl, it goes by quickly and the pain doesn’t last too long. it’s much better now than it was before surgery, so it’s totally worth it!!

Why do doctors wear white coats? An antiquated thing of the past. When I was at school everyone played soccer but acls were virtually unheared of. Most importantly the costs? This could well be something else that overwhelms!
