What causes ACL injuries?

ACL (Anterior Cruciate Ligament) injuries are most often caused by sudden, forceful movements that place strain on the knee. Common causes include:

  • Abrupt stops or changes in direction during sports activities.
  • Pivoting or twisting motions, especially while the foot is firmly planted.
  • Incorrect landings from a jump or leap.
  • Sudden trauma or impact to the knee during contact sports.
  • Overextension of the knee joint due to intense physical activity.

FAQs About ACL Injuries

Can my ACL injury heal on its own?

Minor ACL injuries, like a mild sprain, may improve with rest and proper care. However, if your knee remains painful or unstable for more than two weeks, or if the symptoms worsen, consult an orthopaedic ACL specialist for a proper evaluation and treatment.

Can knee pain after exercise be a sign of an ACL injury?

Mild knee pain after exercise is normal, but if the pain is sharp, persistent, or accompanied by swelling, a popping sensation, or knee instability, it could be a sign of an ACL injury. If these symptoms occur, it’s important to seek evaluation from a knee specialist to prevent further damage.

Are there non-surgical treatments for ACL injuries?

Yes. Dr. Dennis Ng will always explore effective non-surgical treatments first, such as bracing or joint injections. Surgery is typically considered if the injury is severe or if non-surgical treatments do not provide enough stability.

If I need ACL surgery, how long will recovery take?

Recovery time depends on the severity of your ACL injury and the type of surgery performed. Typically, recovery can range from several weeks to a few months. Proper rehabilitation and aftercare are needed to ensure a successful recovery in order to get you back to normal activity.
