ACL Tears

ACL Tear Treatment in Seoul | Gangnam NANOORI Hospital

Understanding ACL Tears

An ACL tear is a common knee injury involving the anterior cruciate ligament, which plays a crucial role in stabilizing the joint. This injury often occurs during high-impact sports or sudden directional changes, leading to knee instability and significant pain.



Causes and Risk Factors

  • Sports Injuries: Quick pivots, sudden stops, or direct impacts in sports like soccer, basketball, and skiing.
  • Accidents: Falls or collisions can result in an ACL tear.
  • Activity Level: Active individuals and athletes are at a higher risk, though ACL tears can also occur in less active individuals.



Common Symptoms

  • A sudden “popping” sensation at the time of injury
  • Intense pain and rapid swelling
  • Knee instability or a feeling of giving way
  • Difficulty walking, bearing weight, or fully bending the knee
  • Reduced range of motion
