An Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) tear is a common knee injury, often occurring during sports or physical activities. It involves the tearing of the ligament that stabilizes the knee joint, resulting in pain, swelling, and instability. Treatment ranges from rest, physical therapy, to surgical reconstruction, depending on the severity, aiming to restore function and prevent long-term complications.

Regenexx Perc-ACLR - Non-Surgical Treatment for ACL Tears

Welcome to the "Regenexx". Throughout this video, you will learn about Non-Surgical Treatment for ACL Tears.

The ACL or Anterior Cruciate Ligament is an important stabilizer of the knee for front-to-back movements and twisting motions. It is most commonly injured while playing sports. Most patients think that replacing a Torn ACL is like getting a part replaced in their car. However, the research on ACL surgeries paints a different story. Most athletes who had ACL surgery never regained their normal balance and control over that knee. Plus athletes are six times more likely to re-injure the same ACL or opposite ACL within a year of their initial surgery. Four years after surgery patients who had ACL surgery had no more function and no less arthritis than those patients who didn't have the surgery. Why is all of this happening? Largely because the new surgically installed ACL isn't at all like the original equipment. First, it must go in at a much steeper angle so it can never provide the same kind of front-to-back stabilization as the original ACL. The surgically installed ACL also doesn't have the same intact nerve supply which is needed to fine-tune the normal balance and motion of the knee. But for many who suffer from an ACL injury, there's good news. Regenexx ACL is a non-surgical procedure that utilizes the stem cells from your own body to assist in the healing of ACL tears. Rather than a surgical amputation and replacement of your ACL, it's an exacting image-guided injection of stem cells into your ACL tear. In our registry-based study, we were able to see good healing of the ACL and follow-up MRIs in more than 7 in 10 patients, and 75 percent of patients return to their favorite sports without the need for surgery. So if you've experienced an ACL injury consider the Regenexx ACL procedure and let your own stem cells help you get back in the game and on the path to better health.

We offer a unique approach to treating orthopedic injuries non-surgically based on over fifteen years of research and experience.

Regenexx is a provider network doing procedural-based care. We pioneered the use of orthopedic bone marrow concentrate to treat common orthopedic conditions to help people avoid surgery using cells from their own bodies.

Marina x daughter!reader gets hurt during a soccer game. She’s obsessed with the sport lives and breathes it. So when she gets injured it’s her ACL( care ending injury)

ᕚ---ᕘ

A painful outcry, which went through the marrow and bones of Carina and Maya´s body and drove a shiver down their backs, caused the doctor and the firefighter to run onto the field after a brief shock. Their daughter had clashed with her opponent, been knocked off her feet and thrown a few centimeters through the air.

After that, you hit the ground and your loud scream echoed across the soccer field. It was completely silent, the whistle sounding a break while not a sound could be heard from the fans. All eyes were on you on the floor, a small team of doctors already squatting with you, while you were writhing on the floor, your face contorted in pain.

All your fellow players, even the opponents, had gathered in a small circle around you and the doctors while Carina and Maya had pushed themselves through the crowd and got on their knees next to you. They talked to you softly and watched in shock as you held your knee frantically and it was already beginning to swell under your fingers.

"Hey baby. Stop moving, it is alright. We are here," the blonde said softly, staring down at you in shock. You seemed to despair of the pain, slightly opening your shiny, tearful eyes while you mumbled incoherent whines. You looked between your mothers before the brunette found her words. "What hurts? Can you tell me that?"

Without words and with a face turning red from pain, you pointed to your knee joint, which took on a bluish discoloration and on which the doctors were already touching around. Maya gently stroked your hair and rested her hand on your shoulder while trying to calm you down with soothing words. "The doctors are doing what they can, but you can expect that you will not be able to play today and we are going to the hospital instead."

"No! No. We have to win the game! I have to play,"

Your mothers gave you a slightly annoyed look and shook their head hastily. How could you think of winning a stupid game while lying on the floor in unnatural pain? "Bella, non c'è modo. You are injured and we will not allow your addiction to the game to cause further injury." it burst out on the Italian and you stared at her defeated.

Your mother was right and you could not persuade the two rock-hard women anyway - you could not play like that.

With a firm grip under your armpits, Maya had clawed you and pulled you up, Carina carefully supported your balance with two hands on your shoulder blades. "Can you put your foot down?" a small but nice question that made you say no when you tried to do so. "No, it hurts so terribly!" you replied whimpering and leaned on the blonde's shoulder.

"Ti portiamo in ospedale. Maya? Hospital. It is probably the anterior cruciate ligament, it needs treatment." nodding, she pulled you closer to her. With quick steps, you both walked and hobbled down the muddy path from the soccer field until you reached the Italian's parked Porsche.

ᕚ---ᕘ

It had been two days since you were discharged from the hospital. As revealed by an X-ray, this was not just a simple injury, but a serious one that caused problems. Your mother was right and you really did destroy your anterior curciate ligament as a result of your accident and had to have surgery.

Now you were lying on the couch at home, your leg propped up on three pillows, while your favorite show was playing that you were not even paying attention to. Instead, you dwell on your thoughts.

Anything could have happened. Everything, but not that. It was the penultimate game of the season and now you had destroyed your knee in the decisive game for the final, which meant a four-month break for you. Now you could not attend such a big event and play for the cup.

"That is bewitched!" you shouted and slammed your fist angrily on the pillow that lay on your lower stomach. The blonde and brunette who had taken time off work to take care of you, quickly moving over to you and ignored the washing machine calling for them.

"Honey, what do you mean?" Carina whispered softly to you and gently ran her fingers through your hair. Tears wet your cheeks and you let out a soft sob, the pain brewing with the feeling of failure inside you. "I have failed."

"Hey, you did not fail. You are injured and that has nothing to do with failure. You will still get the trophy, I promise you that," the blonde continued the conversation and pressed a big kiss on your head, her hand softly touching your thigh and caressing it. Her voice was still a whisper.

A simple whisper that meant so much to you.

"But I let you down. You ran a 10,000 meter sprint with a sprained ankle and won the gold medal. And me? I just fell on the floor and now I have…this" you admitted, pointing to your braced knee. The last few weeks, the last few months have been so beautiful. Maya, Carina and you, were looking forward to your soccer game and had imagined what it would be like to celebrate your beaming face with the trophy in your hand.

But now everything had gone differently and you were lying here on the dreary couch and all hopes were destroyed.

Two horrified and deeply saddened faces exhaled loudly and were silent for a brief moment while they looked down dejectedly. You had no reason to compare yourself to Maya, you were unique in your own way and they hated that they could not take your worries away. "I beg you, Y/n.. you are not a failure." the Italian broke the silence and looked at you invitingly.

"Look at me little one," the blonde said cautiously, bending slightly over you and always looking into your eyes. You looked up at her questioningly, blue eyes boring into yours. "Neither Carina nor I are disappointed in you. Rather, we are happy that you did not injure yourself worse."

You nodded cautiously, holding back your words. The blonde smiled and got up from her seat before disappearing again. "Mom?" you called after her as she was about to disappear into the bathroom and she turned around questioningly. You held up the already heated ice pack. "Can you get me some new ice? It's starting to hurt again."

"An ice pack for the princess with extra painkillers and vanilla ice cream is coming right away!" she said curtly and hurriedly walked towards the kitchen. A few minutes later she came back two her wive and you with all the things and sat down next to you again. "Now back off. We are going to watch a horror movie to distract you a little," she giggled, grabbing the remote control. With a little nudge on your nose, you pressed yourself to the blondes side and rested your head on her chest.

"Se metti un film horror e lo guardi con lei, sei una donna divorziata."

Sports and ACL Tears: What Athletes Need to Know About Risks and Recovery

Sports are exhilarating, pushing our bodies to their limits and beyond. But with great physical activity comes the risk of injury, and one of the most common and dreaded injuries for athletes is an ACL tear. In this article, The Vitruvian Italian Physiotherapy Center will provide information about ACL tears, including its hazards, healing time, and available treatments for athletes. Knowing the ins and outs of ACL injuries is essential for staying in the game, regardless of experience level.

Understanding ACL Tears

What is the ACL?

The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is one of the major ligaments in the knee, providing stability and support during physical activities such as running, jumping, and pivoting.

How Do ACL Tears Happen?

An ACL tear typically occurs when the knee is subjected to sudden twisting or hyperextension, often during activities like soccer, basketball, or skiing. It can also happen due to direct impact or landing awkwardly from a jump.

Signs and Symptoms

Signs of an ACL tear include a popping sensation at the time of injury, immediate swelling, and instability in the knee. Symptoms may include pain, difficulty bearing weight on the affected leg, and limited range of motion.

Risks and Recovery

Who is at Risk?

Athletes participating in high-impact sports that involve sudden changes in direction or jumping are at a higher risk of ACL tears. Female athletes also have a higher incidence of ACL injuries compared to males, possibly due to differences in anatomy and biomechanics.

Recovery Process

Recovery from an ACL tear often involves a combination of rest, physical therapy, and sometimes surgery. The timeline for recovery can vary depending on the severity of the injury and the individual's overall health and fitness level.

Importance of Rehabilitation

Rehabilitation plays a crucial role in recovering from an ACL tear, focusing on strengthening the muscles around the knee, improving balance and coordination, and gradually reintroducing physical activity to prevent re-injury.

Treatment Options

Treatment for ACL Ligament Tear Are as Follows:

Non-Surgical Treatment

For some patients, particularly those with partial tears or less active lifestyles, non-surgical treatment may be recommended. This may involve bracing, physical therapy, and lifestyle modifications to reduce stress on the knee.

Surgical Options

Surgery is often recommended for athletes and individuals with complete ACL tears or those who want to return to high-level sports. Surgical options include ACL reconstruction, where the torn ligament is replaced with a graft from another part of the body or a donor.

Rehabilitation After Surgery

Post-surgical rehabilitation is essential for restoring strength, mobility, and function to the knee. A structured rehabilitation program, supervised by a physical therapist, is typically recommended to ensure a safe and successful recovery.

ACL tears are a common and potentially debilitating injury for athletes, but with the right knowledge and treatment, recovery is possible. Whether opting for surgery or non-surgical treatment, rehabilitation and proper care are key to getting back on your feet and back in the game.

Knee Pain Treatment

Introduction

Knee pain is a prevalent issue that can affect people of all ages. It can result from injuries, mechanical problems, types of arthritis, and other conditions. Effective knee pain treatment requires understanding the underlying cause and implementing appropriate therapies. This article explores common causes of knee pain, types of knee pain treatments available, and tips for managing knee pain.

Common Causes of Knee Pain

Injuries:

Ligament Injuries:

Damage to ligaments such as the ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) or MCL (medial collateral ligament) often results from sports activities.

Meniscus Tears:

The meniscus, a cartilage that acts as a cushion between your shinbone and thighbone, can tear due to twisting motions or heavy lifting.

Patellar Tendinitis:

Inflammation of the tendons connecting the kneecap to the shinbone, commonly caused by repetitive stress.

Mechanical Problems:

Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome:

Pain around the kneecap due to misalignment or overuse.

Iliotibial Band Syndrome:

Occurs when the ligament extending from the pelvic bone to the shin becomes tight and rubs against the outer portion of the femur.

Arthritis:

Osteoarthritis:

Degenerative joint disease causing the breakdown of cartilage.

Rheumatoid Arthritis:

An autoimmune condition causing inflammation and damage to the joint lining.

Gout:

A type of arthritis characterized by sudden, severe attacks of pain, swelling, and redness.

Other Conditions:

Bursitis:

Inflammation of the bursa, a small fluid-filled sac that reduces friction.

Infections:

Bacterial infections can affect the knee joint and lead to pain and swelling.

Types of Knee Pain Treatment

Rest and Activity Modification:

Reducing or modifying activities that cause pain can help alleviate symptoms and prevent further injury.

Physical Therapy:

A tailored exercise program can strengthen the muscles around the knee, improve flexibility, and restore joint function. Techniques may include:

Stretching and strengthening exercises

Manual therapy

Electrical stimulation

Medications:

Nonsteroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs):

Medications like ibuprofen or naproxen can reduce pain and inflammation.

Topical Analgesics:

Creams or gels applied to the skin over the knee can provide pain relief.

Injections:

Corticosteroid Injections:

Can reduce inflammation and provide pain relief for conditions like arthritis.

Hyaluronic Acid Injections:

Help lubricate the knee joint and can provide pain relief for osteoarthritis.

Surgery:

Arthroscopy:

A minimally invasive procedure to diagnose and treat knee problems.

Partial or Total Knee Replacement:

Replacement of the damaged knee joint with an artificial one, typically used in severe cases of arthritis.

Alternative Therapies:

Techniques such as acupuncture, massage, and chiropractic care can provide additional pain relief and improve knee function.

Conclusion

Knee pain can be debilitating, but with the right treatment approach, relief is possible. Whether through conservative methods like physical therapy and medications or surgical intervention in severe cases, addressing knee pain requires a tailored plan that targets the underlying cause. In London, numerous clinics offer specialized care to help patients regain knee function and live pain-free. If you are experiencing persistent knee pain, consult a healthcare professional to determine the best course of action for your condition.

Answers to Your ACL Injury Questions

One of the most common inquiries we receive at Granimals is how long it will take for them to be able to walk again following ACL surgery. It is natural to want to get back to normal life as quickly as possible after an injury.

In this blog, we'll go over the timeline for walking after ACL surgery, the elements that influence your recovery, and some advice for a successful rehabilitation journey. Let us get you back up and moving!

What is ACL reconstruction surgery?

ACL reconstruction surgery involves using a graft to replace the damaged anterior cruciate ligament (ACL). For knee stability, particularly when making abrupt direction changes, stopping, or turning, the ACL is essential. Daily activities may be greatly impacted by an ACL tear. Restoring knee stability after ACL surgery enables you to resume your regular activities. A vital first step toward leading an active, pain-free life again is this surgery.

ACL Surgery Recovery Timeline: Explained

Here’s a detailed overview of the ACL surgery recovery timeline and how long it will take to fully recover: 

Week 0-2: The initial days

After surgery, your leg will be bandaged, possibly with a brace. Keep it elevated to reduce swelling. Start movements like quadricep sets and ankle pumps to avoid blood clots. Most patients begin walking with crutches after a few days.

Week 2- 4: Beginning of Strength Training

By the end of the second week, you may start bearing weight on your leg. Enrolling in a therapy program early is ideal for personalised recovery steps.

Week 4-8: Begin your exercises

Continue wearing a knee brace for support. Focus on exercises to increase knee range of motion and improve strength and stability, such as straight-leg raises and gentle knee bends.

Week 8-12: Walk without crutches

If you’ve been consistent with exercises and therapies, you should be able to walk without crutches. Your physio may introduce more challenging tasks to enhance stability, strength, and proprioception.

Month 3-6: Going back to the normal

You may walk freely but still work on improving your range of motion. Activities like jogging, lunges, step-ups, and biking can help condition your muscles. Include cardiovascular activities in your routine.

Month 6-12: Full recovery

Athletes can return to sports, with therapists focusing on sport-specific exercises to build confidence. Continuing therapy is crucial to prevent future injuries.

Our experts at Granimals can guide you through every step of your recovery. Book a call with us today and start your journey to a pain-free life!

Factors that Affect the ACL Surgery Recovery Time

Several factors influence how quickly you can walk again after ACL surgery:

Pre-surgery Knee Condition: If your knee was swollen and weak before surgery, recovery might take longer.

Immediate Treatment: Following the PRICE (Protect, Rest, Ice, Compress, Elevate) regime right after the injury can speed up recovery.

Pre-surgery Exercises: Strengthening leg muscles and improving knee movement before surgery helps with post-surgery walking.

Surgeon’s Skills: The experience and technique of your surgeon significantly impact results.

Graft Choice: The type of graft used can affect pain and swelling post-surgery.

Your Motivation: Commitment to recovery, especially in the first two weeks, is crucial.

Physical Therapy: Adhering to a rehabilitation program accelerates the recovery process.

Tips for a Smoother Recovery Journey

Here are some tips to ensure a smooth recovery journey:

Stick to Your Rehab Routine: Consistency is key. Follow your rehabilitation program religiously to avoid complications.

Manage Pain and Swelling: Use medications as prescribed, ice therapy, and keep your leg elevated to reduce swelling.

Use Supportive Devices: Braces and crutches provide stability and help avoid putting pressure on your leg.

Gradually Bear Weight: Follow your doctor’s advice on when to start bearing weight.

Maintain Good Nutrition: Eat a balanced diet rich in vitamins, protein, and minerals. Stay hydrated.

Stay Active with Caution: Engage in low-impact activities like swimming or biking only with your doctor’s permission. Daily range-of-motion exercises are essential.

Rest and Recover: Ensure your body gets ample rest. Avoid overexertion to prevent complications.

Stay Positive: Set achievable milestones and celebrate small victories to stay motivated.

Avoid High-Risk Activities: Steer clear of high-impact activities until fully recovered.

Stay Informed: Ask your physiotherapist or doctor any questions to understand your condition better.

We understand the urge to resume walking. It's what you've done all your life, and limitations might be difficult. But keep in mind that you're not by yourself. Walking following ACL surgery usually takes a few days to several months, but it's important to pay close attention to the recommendations your physiotherapist and doctor provide you. To get the best results and confidently resume your activities, you must be patient and follow the recuperation plan.
