🦵 Think ACL injuries only happen to athletes? Think again!
An ACL (Anterior Cruciate Ligament) injury can happen during everyday activities—not just while playing sports. A simple slip on a wet floor, missing a step, twisting your knee while walking, or a road traffic accident can tear the ACL and make your knee unstable.
🚨 Common Symptoms of an ACL Injury:
✔️ A popping sound at the time of injury
✔️ Immediate swelling around the knee
✔️ Severe knee pain
✔️ Difficulty walking or bearing weight
✔️ A feeling that the knee is 'giving way'
Ignoring an ACL injury can increase the risk of meniscus tears, cartilage damage, chronic knee instability, and early arthritis. Early diagnosis with a clinical examination and imaging, followed by the right treatment, can help restore knee function and prevent long-term complications.
Whether you're an athlete or not, persistent knee pain after a twist or fall should never be ignored.
