Torn ACL Surgery Begins with the Right Diagnosis

A twisting injury on the sporting field can change the way a knee feels for months afterwards. Some people notice the knee giving way during simple movements, while others lose confidence returning to sport. That's when torn ACL surgery may become part of the discussion.

More Than One Option

The treatment plan depends on the injury, knee stability, activity level and personal goals. Surgery isn't recommended simply because an ACL tear is present.

Assessment May Include

* Medical history
* Knee stability testing
* MRI review
* Discussion of treatment options
* Recovery planning

Every ACL injury deserves its own assessment. Speak with Mr Vishal Pai, orthopaedic knee surgeon in Melbourne, if torn ACL surgery has been recommended.
