MRI shows that I have a a partial tear ACL. However, I feel no pain, no swelling, no inflammation, no cumulative liquid, can run, can stretch my leg, walk long distances, step on ladders, do construction work, etc. I’m 69 yrs old and played soccer at top level for over 60 years and I’m looking forward to keeping playing for a few more years. Can I be considered a Coper at my current age? If so, I just found my path to full recovery. Thanks for bringing rational hope to those in need of good news.
Hi, good information. One question does acl tear causes rotational instability in knee specifically posteolateral instability. Which exercises are good if pateint has no anterior but only rotational instability? Thanks
Hello, thanks for the comment. Posterolateral instability commonly occurs with injury to the posterolateral corner (PLC) which is made up of the popliteus tendon, lateral collateral ligament, and knee joint capsule. This injury can occur with an ACL injury. Exercises that would help with anterior instability would focus on hamstring strength, as the hamstrings resist anterior translation of the tibia on the femur, which is the function of the ACL.
at only 22 years old and loving many sports/ active activities, Surgery wasent a choice for me. i also had partial meniscus scraping. i’m 10 weeks in and it’s so depressing not being able to do anything but i’m glad my acl is fixed and back up and running in a few months
I have undergone an arthroscopic ACL reconstruction surgery but after 2 weeks was affected with infection then done arthroscopic lavage surgery again after 2 weeks due to increased count of 90k with CRP 65 so i again undergo for arthroscopic lavage surgery and reconstructed ACL has been removed to avoid the infection. Is it possible to strengthen my muscles so I can live without an ACL. I'm not a sportsman but I love trekking in the mountains, hiking etc. with hinged knee supports is it possible.
@@vishnuvinod9404 Yes, it's certainly possible! As long as you have good dynamic knee control and it was an isolated ACL injury, research says you can have good long term outcomes
Thanks for the comment! According to the current studies, "copers" do not demonstrate any increased instances of arthritis compared to those who recieved an ACL reconstruction
I had my ACL injury (Grade 1) 3 weeks back and till then I was in rest, how much rest I should give to the knee? is walking and doing regular movement will be bad? and need your suggestion for few exercise which I can start from home? and Should I follow any bracing protocol? Thanks for the video.
Grade 1 injuries do not result in knee instability, so the initial management is rest and then gradual return to activity as symptoms allow. Bracing is not typically needed for a grade 1 sprain. I recommend seeing a physical therapist that can tailor exercises to your needs. Good luck! 👍
@@physioshow Thanks! I see new studies shows 90 degree bracing protocol helps and also is it possible for inflammation MRI showing high signal which doctor reporting as low grade partial tear?
@towkirfarhan8978 Sorry, not exactly sure what the question is, but if it's partially torn then it's more severe than a grade 1. Again, I still recommend following up with a physio for specific recommendations. We don't provide medical advice for specific cases. Good luck! 💪
@jaifaitlessourcils this would depend on a number of factors, including if there was any other knee injury, the "coper" screening results prior to surgery, and your own goals. Thanks for the comment, and goodluck with rehab! 💪
This is true if you lack dynamic knee stability. However, research shows those without an ACL and good knee control do not have higher rates of arthritis. Crazy right!?!
Have you ever experienced an ACL injury? How did you decide on your treatment plan? We'd love to hear your story! 🦵💡

What is the long term effect of not getting a surgery? I keep hearing further damage to the knee or developing arthritis

Can acl tear with patella dislocation ??
It's certainly possible
Hello, I did acl surgery 3 weeks ago, just wanted to know if a full recovery of my knee was conceivable or there would be after-effects in any case
My minuscus was also operated
@jaifaitlessourcils this would depend on a number of factors, including if there was any other knee injury, the "coper" screening results prior to surgery, and your own goals. Thanks for the comment, and goodluck with rehab! 💪
@@jaifaitlessourcils in that case surgery is likely indicated as conservative ACL rehab is for isolated tears without other knee injury
without acl ur knee will have constant wear and tear if remain active
