Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL)
Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) Explained
Among common knee injuries, an anterior cruciate ligament injury including sprains and tears are especially frequent—particularly among athletes—but they can also result from everyday falls or accidents. The ACL’s primary role is to stabilize the shin bone and prevent it from sliding or twisting abnormally within the knee joint.
When you sprain or tear your ACL, you may notice a sudden popping sensation, followed by pain, swelling, and bruising around the knee. As a result, movement can become restricted and uncomfortable. Fortunately, Dr. Arun Jyothi has expertise in diagnosing and treating ACL injuries, ensuring you heal safely and regain full knee function.
Early diagnosis and proper treatment are crucial to prevent further damage and ensure a full recovery. Dr. Arun Jyothi uses advanced diagnostic tools such as MRI scans to assess the extent of the injury and tailor a personalized treatment plan. Depending on the severity, treatment may include physical therapy.

ACL Injury: Diagnosis and Treatment Options
ACL treatment depends on your activity level and age. Inactive persons might find that nonoperative treatment such as rest and physical therapy suffices. Active individuals typically require ACL reconstruction surgery to regain knee stability and safely return to sports or everyday activities. Dr. Arunjyothi will assess your knee through a physical examination and imaging studies such as MRI and X-rays to provide the most effective treatment.
Once you tear an ACL, you will experience pain, swelling, and restricted movement. Medical professionals will treat an anterior cruciate ligament injury with rest, ice, compression, elevation, and anti-inflammatory drugs to alleviate symptoms.
