Ligament injuries are frequent musculoskeletal problems that can limit mobility and daily activities. Ligaments are tough fibrous structures that link bones and stabilise joints. When subjected to extreme force or rapid movement, they can strain or tear, resulting in a sprain or total rupture.
An anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tear is one of the most common ligament injuries, affecting athletes who participate in high-impact activities such as football, basketball, and skiing. Sudden stops, pivots, and direct knee trauma are common causes of an ACL tear. The symptoms include extreme pain, swelling, instability, and difficulty bearing weight.
Ligament injuries are classified into three types: Grade I (mild sprain) includes minor stretching, Grade II (partial tear) results in looseness and pain, and Grade III (full tear) produces severe instability and frequently necessitates surgical intervention.
The degree of the injury determines the appropriate treatment. Mild cases may resolve with rest, ice, compression, and physical therapy, whereas serious ligament injuries, such as a total ACL rupture, may necessitate reconstructive surgery.Proper rehabilitation and strengthening exercises are essential for healing and avoiding future injuries. Early detection and suitable treatment guarantee excellent healing and joint function.
