ACL Tear Symptoms: Early Signs You Should Never Ignore
By Dr. Yogesh Narkhede – Knee Ligament Specialist in Punawale
5/28/20261 min read
ACL injuries often start with one moment — a twist, a landing, a sudden change in direction. But what determines long-term outcome is how quickly the injury is identified.
Most Common ACL Tear Symptoms
1. A “Pop” Sound at Time of Injury
Many patients report hearing or feeling a pop during sports or sudden movement.
2. Immediate Knee Swelling
Swelling within a few hours suggests bleeding inside the joint (hemarthrosis).
3. Instability or Giving Way
The knee feels unreliable, especially during turning movements.
4. Difficulty in Pivoting
Straight-line walking may be possible, but twisting feels unstable.
5. Reduced Range of Motion
Pain and swelling restrict movement.
When to See an Orthopedic Surgeon in Punawale
Seek evaluation if:
● Swelling persists beyond 48 hours
● Instability episodes occur
● You plan to continue sports
Delaying diagnosis increases risk of meniscus and cartilage damage.
Early assessment ensures proper treatment planning.
