ACL INJURY , TELL ME TREATMENT PLAN
Hi there is a patient who have knee injury while playing, MRI report says it's partial ACL tear. Will this recover on its own? Or physiotherapist session require or surgery? MRI reports says: 1. Partial tear at t he femoral attachment of ACL 2. Intrasubstance changes in the posterior hom of medial meniscus 3. Bone contusion in the medial and the lateral tibial condyle 4. Mild joint effusion. plz tell the the treatment plan for that patient.
If it is a recent knee injury keep it in a knee brace for one month and start with knee range of exercise after seeing a physiotherapy doctor. He can walk with knee brace. Let him wear knee brace even during sleep and whole day.
Remove only for exercise. He can walk with it. After one month if he is able to walk and climb without knee brace and having no fear of instability then just continue with exercise.
But if any instability then better get diagnostic arthroscopic done with the decision to operate fir acl if it is torn or not stable or strong enough. Better also see ur orthopaedic consultant from time to time to guide u after examining u
