Know Your ACL Injury Without Any Test | Hidden Secret Information by - Dr. Vikram Sharma

In this video, Dr. Vikram Sharma, a renowned Arthroscopic Surgeon and Sports Medicine Specialist at Fortis Escorts Hospital in Jaipur, shares three important clues that can help diagnose an Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) tear. He explains that when patients come to the OPD with a knee injury, it is often confirmed that they have an ACL tear. Dr. Sharma highlights that the commonest mechanism for an ACL tear is twisting and hyper-extension of the knee. He also emphasizes that swelling after a twisting injury is a significant clue as it indicates bleeding in the joint, leading to haemoarthrosis.

Dr. Sharma stresses the importance of the mechanism of injury and swelling as the first two clues. He also explains the third and most crucial clue, which is instability. He states that if a person tries to stand up after the injury and feels a snap or tearing sensation inside the joint, it is almost confirmative of an ACL tear. Dr. Sharma further elaborates that as the main reason for joint stability is the ACL, the absence of the ACL causes an instability that may lead to falling or fear of falling down.

In the video, Dr. Sharma discusses the importance of these clues for medical professionals, physiotherapists, sports coaches, and athletes to diagnose an ACL tear. He suggests that following these clues can help confirm the diagnosis without any investigation. However, an MRI is always recommended before surgery to confirm the diagnosis.

Dr. Sharma also highlights that after an ACL injury, the affected thigh may become thinner than the other thigh, and the patient may modify their lifestyle due to the fear of re-injury. He advises patients to seek medical attention for proper diagnosis and treatment of ACL injuries.
