What We Treat

Understanding Ligament Injuries

Ligament injuries are among the most common and debilitating orthopaedic conditions, particularly in athletes and active individuals. Ligaments are tough fibrous bands that connect bones and provide joint stability. When torn, they can lead to chronic instability, pain, and long-term joint damage if untreated.

At Arun Ortho, we use advanced MRI evaluation combined with clinical stress testing to accurately grade your ligament injury. Our treatment philosophy favors the least invasive approach that achieves full functional recovery.

Conditions

Ligament Injuries We Treat

ACL Tear

Complete or partial anterior cruciate ligament tear causing knee instability and giving-way episodes.

PCL Injury

Posterior cruciate ligament injury from direct blow to the shin, causing posterior knee instability.

MCL & LCL Sprain

Medial and lateral collateral ligament injuries from valgus or varus stresses on the knee.

Ankle Ligament Tear

Lateral ankle ligament complex injuries causing chronic ankle instability and recurrent sprains.

Shoulder Instability

Glenohumeral ligament tears causing recurrent shoulder dislocations and apprehension.

Multi-Ligament Injury

Treatment

Our Treatment Approach

01

Clinical Exam & MRI

Detailed stress testing, KT-1000 arthrometer measurement, and 3T MRI to precisely grade ligament injury.

02

RICE Protocol & Bracing

Immediate rest, ice, compression, elevation, and functional bracing to control swelling and protect the joint.

03

Physiotherapy Phase

Structured pre-operative physiotherapy to restore muscle strength and range of motion before surgery.

04

Arthroscopic Reconstruction

Minimally invasive ligament reconstruction using autograft (hamstring/patellar tendon) or allograft with fixation.

05

Return-to-Sport Rehabilitation

Progressive sport-specific rehabilitation with functional testing before clearance for full activity.

Common Questions About
Ligament Injury

Do all ACL tears require surgery?
Not always. Older, less active individuals might manage well with physical therapy and bracing. However, young, active individuals and athletes usually require ACL reconstruction surgery to restore knee stability and return to sports.
What is the difference between a sprain and a tear?
A sprain is the stretching or microscopic tearing of a ligament. A tear refers to a more severe injury where the ligament is partially or completely ruptured and disconnected.
How long is the recovery after ligament surgery?
Recovery from major ligament reconstruction (like an ACL) typically takes 6 to 9 months. It involves a phased physical therapy program to gradually restore range of motion, strength, and dynamic stability.
Can a torn ligament heal on its own?
Some minor or partial ligament tears (like MCL sprains) can heal on their own with proper bracing and rest. However, complete tears of ligaments inside the joint (like the ACL) lack a blood supply and will not heal without surgical intervention.
What does a ligament injury feel like?
Patients often hear or feel a 'pop' at the moment of injury, followed by immediate, severe swelling, intense pain, and a feeling of the joint 'giving way' or buckling when trying to bear weight.
