Some people with partial ACL tears seen on an MRI may complain of instability with sports or activities. Some of you with partial ligament injuries may not complain of instability. Your physical examination and complaints often matter more than the MRI reading. All partial ACL injuries are not managed the same way. Surgery for partial ACL injuries is reserved for those of you with an unstable knee and quality of life issues because you can not return to the activities or sports that you enjoy.

I had an ACL injury playing rugby. Got tackled and the opponent stepped on my knee in the ruck. Strained my MCL, torn meniscus and grade 1 ACL tear. They aspirated my knee, twice. Did prolotherapy PRP on it and thankfully it's healing and responding well to therapy. I'm 5 weeks post injury now, still have a few more sessions to go but I've gained back a lot of my balance, strength and stability with the help of physio. Never skip physio! I have no problems squatting, going up or down stairs, no problems shifting, changing directions or twisting though i still avoid impact and reduce any twisting movements while healing. I don't wear a knee guard, either kinesio or rigid strapping only as i find that guards weaken my legs and slows down the healing. I do acupuncture and cupping as well for circulation and to control the swelling. I have no pain at all, just tightness from the swelling from time to time (especially when i overuse it like when i went to the beach) is the biggest cause of discomfort for me. I do yoga every morning even though i hate yoga. I cycle a lot too aside from physio. It's not fully healed but I'm optimistic, so far i have been rather responsive to the treatments. I hope that helps someone. I understand how devastating this injury is especially to ppl like me who built a life around sports. I talked to every Dr i could find until i found a course of treatment that was right for me. If this doesn't work, come to Malaysia. We have an excellent sports science hospital that does stem cell recon!

If your knee is unstable when turning or twisting then this type of injury is treated as a complete ACL tear. You do have the choice of not playing soccer, or having a new ACL reconstructed.

God bless you. I understand this is not individual advice and not written in stone as law.... but your opinions and experiences are way better than what I see in a google search. My daughters MRI report says "the acl is deficient most compatible with a chronic tear" and I do not understand what that language means. Can that mean she has a slight tear or an old tear? She walks fine and the immedicenter tested her knee and said "that's a good knee". If she had no acl at all wouldn't she be swollen and not walking or having her knee give out?

@HowardLuksMD 5 жыл бұрын

Believe it or not some people are walking around with chronic ACL tears. They are referring to an old tear. No, I would not expect a knee that is doing well to be swollen. Only a certain percentage of knees without an ACL will be unstable and make her knee give way. Other knees seem to tolerate it well. The issue you and your daughter need to discuss is sports participation. Class I sports, with cutting, pivoting, rapid changes in direction would put her at risk for giving way. Each giving way episode increases risk of meniscus or cartilage injury.

@chrisbiker4702 5 жыл бұрын

@@HowardLuksMD Thank you for answering. This answer was a bit late but still appreciated. She had the surgery because there was a bucket handle tear. They did the acl while they were there. Used a hamstring graft. They say the acl at the same time makes better outcome because blood in the area is increased. Also new acl will prevent risking another meniscus tear.

The pain didn’t hit right away it hit around 5 seconds after it happened but I knew something wasn’t right. Well eventually when I felt the pain I went to the ground, and it didn’t really hurt at all just simply felt like a little cramp. I’ve been walking on it all day today it only gave out around 2 times today. I’ve been limping all day as well, i’m not sure what’s going on. I want to know what could possibly be going on before I go get it checked out. Thank you.

@HowardLuksMD 7 жыл бұрын

It really depends on your definition of healing. To us as Orthopedic Surgeons, a healed partial tear is a tear that allows you to a have a stable knee without the need for surgery. many patients with partial ACL tears have a stable knee and do not need surgery. Some patients with partial tears have an unstable knee and require surgery to attempt to restore stability. It usually takes a few months of PT to restore motion and strength after the injury.

Hello, On your website you state that a grade 3 MCL tear can take 3-5 months to recover. Just wondering why almost everywhere else you look they say 6-8 weeks. I am inclined to go with your prediction as I have this injury, coming up to 2 months and no where near 100%. Would love to hear your thoughts on the disparity. Thanks

Hi can you please tell how much time did u take to recover completely? Also did you undergo surgery?

@@thebankyard6283 Hi! No surgery, they don't do it for mcl tears where I live and literature also supports this... However... It depends what you mean by recovered completely. I did all the rehab but to this day I still feel some tightness there. It's completely fine for running, swimming etc.. But for martial arts, I still feel I have to protect the area and does become sore sometimes. For climbing it's ok too. Have you just done this injury? I've actually begun doing a program to bulletproof your knees (supposedly) so we'll see if I can make it as strong as it once was.

@@sbox001 hey! I hav partial ACL tier, medical meniscus grade 2 changes, swelling in several parts of knee, MPFL partial tear, bone contusions. This is in my MRI report. Doctor earlier suggested for surgery but then after analysing the report he said there are 70-80% chances that you need not hav surgery. It will b a month tomorrow that my knee got dislocated. Doctor has called next week to see if the knee ligaments hav healed so that exercises n physiotherapy could begin. Umm though the swelling has reduced a bit as compared to a month ago. Still it hasn’t gone. I cannot bend my knee much, just a little bit. I wear a long knee brace. Very depressed n sad :/

@@thebankyard6283 ouch, that sounds painful. But if you look on the bright side at least you don't have a full acl tear which would definitely require surgery. I'm no doctor but I have the impression that surgery should be a last resort. With correct physio you can usually resolve the problem even if it takes time. The beginning really sucks but once you start rehabilitating it, you'll start to feel much better. Plus you can still do plenty of upper body exercises, even now. I used to go (be driven) to the gym even though I couldn't walk, it certainly made me feel better mentally. Be patient with it, healing is a slow process.

I just realized I never really answered your original question. I was walking without much pain about 2.5 months later. And started martial arts and climbing again about 5 months after.. But as I said I was very careful doing these, in fact I still am careful.

Sir, what do you think about BEAR technique

@HowardLuksMD 5 жыл бұрын

Not really relevant wrt partial tears. We are just starting to study it against a standard technique so it will take years until we can answer that question. Sadly the results of an ACL repair are showing a very high reinjury rate vs standard ACL reconstructive surgery.
