I am at Apollo hospitals
Jubilee Hills.
ACL year with signs and symptoms of instability requires some ARTHROSCOPIC ACL RECONSTRUCTION which is a keyhole surgery with good results.

⢠Avoid sitting Cross legged.
⢠Avoid Squatting-
⢠Quadriceps Exercises- Lie straight, make a towel role and put it under the knee, press the keen against the role, hold it for 20 secs. Repeat 20 times twice a day. This will help relieve some pain.
⢠Core Strengthening Exercise- Straight Leg Raised With Toes Turned Outward, repeat 10 times, twice a day.
⢠Hams Stretching- lie straight, take the leg up, pull the feet towards yourself, with a elastic tube or normal belt. repeat 10 times, twice a day.
⢠Sports Taping- stretch the tape from both ends and apply on the affected area
⢠Contrast Fomentation (Hot and Cold).
