The ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) is a key ligament that helps stabilize your knee joint. Injuries to this ligament are common among athletes, often occurring in sports like football, basketball, or running. The American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons reports over 200,000 ACL injuries yearly, with athletes at higher risk due to dynamic movements.
Intense discomfort or swelling sets in within a few hours of activity or trauma.
Many athletes report hearing a “pop” at the moment of injury—an instant red flag.
Your knee feels like it might give out or can’t bear your weight during movement or turns.
At Amicare Hospital, we use advanced tools to accurately diagnose ACL injuries and create personalized treatment plans.
Patients should also be aware of bad signs after ACL surgery to avoid complications.
Ignoring an ACL injury can lead to:
Quick ACL injury treatment is crucial to preventing these issues. Amicare’s expertise in sports injury knee care ensures you get a plan that fits you, whether it’s surgery or other options.

| Treatment Option | How It Works | Ideal Candidates | Recovery Time | Key Benefits | Limitations |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| ACL Reconstruction Surgery | Replaces the torn ACL with a graft (autograft or allograft) using minimally invasive keyhole surgery. | Athletes, active individuals with complete ACL tears, or those needing full knee stability for sports like football or cricket. | 6–12 months | Restores full knee stability for high-impact sports. 98% regain mobility (Amicare data, 2018–2024). Supports long-term knee health. | Surgical risks (less than 1% infection risk, graft failure). Requires commitment to rehabilitation. |
| Physical Therapy | Targeted exercises to strengthen knee muscles and improve stability. | Patients with partial tears or those with low activity levels (e.g., non-athletes). | 3–6 months | Non-invasive. Builds muscle strength. No surgical risks. | May not provide enough stability for competitive sports. Slower progress for active individuals. |
| PRP Therapy | Injections of platelet-rich plasma to encourage tissue healing. | Patients with partial tears or mild injuries, often treated alongside physical therapy. | 2–4 months | Non-surgical approach. Promotes natural healing. Quick recovery for mild injuries. | Less effective for complete tears. May require multiple sessions. Limited long-term data. |
| Bracing | Uses a knee brace to support the joint during daily activities or light sports. | Temporary support for partial tears or non-surgical candidates. | Varies (weeks to months) | Immediate support. Non-invasive. Easy to implement. | Does not restore full knee stability. Not suitable for high-impact activities like running or sports. |
