Frequently Asked Questions (Sports Injuries)
How do I know if I tore my ACL?
Common signs of an ACL tear include a loud 'pop' sound during injury, sudden severe knee pain, rapid swelling within hours, and knee instability or giving way when trying to stand.
What is the recovery time after ACL reconstruction surgery?
Light daily activities resume within 2 to 4 weeks with a knee brace. Full return to competitive sports typically takes 6 to 9 months with structured physiotherapy.
Can meniscus tears heal without surgery?
Small tears in the outer zone with good blood supply can heal with rest, physiotherapy, and bracing. Complex or locking tears usually benefit from keyhole arthroscopic repair.
