Patients often confuse ACL tears with meniscus injuries. Both cause knee pain — but the mechanism and treatment differ significantly.
ACL Tear Typically Causes:
● Sudden instability
● Pop sound
● Immediate swelling
● Difficulty pivoting
Meniscus Tear Typically Causes:
● Locking sensation
● Clicking
● Pain while squatting
● Delayed swelling
Both injuries may occur together.
Clinical examination combined with MRI helps differentiate and plan treatment.
In many ACL cases seen in Punawale and Wakad, associated meniscus tears are detected due to delayed consultation.
Proper diagnosis prevents long-term joint degeneration.
