ACL Tear: The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is a vital stabilizing ligament in the knee. An ACL tear often happens during sports that involve sudden stops, changes in direction, or jumping. It is a severe injury that typically requires surgery and intensive rehabilitation to regain stability and function in the knee joint.
Partial ACL Tear: A partial tear of the ACL involves damage to the ligament but not a complete rupture. It may result in instability, pain, and functional limitations. Treatment options for a partial ACL tear depend on the severity and individual circumstances, ranging from conservative management with physical therapy to surgical intervention.
Meniscus Tear: The meniscus is a cartilage pad that acts as a cushion between the femur and tibia in the knee joint. A meniscus tear often occurs due to twisting, pivoting, or direct impact on the knee. Symptoms may include pain, swelling, and limited range of motion. Treatment options include rest, physical therapy, and in some cases, arthroscopic surgery to repair or remove the torn portion.
Rotator Cuff Tear: The rotator cuff is a group of muscles and tendons that stabilize the shoulder joint. Rotator cuff tears are common in sports that involve repetitive overhead motions, such as baseball, tennis, and swimming. Symptoms include shoulder pain, weakness, and difficulty with shoulder movement. Treatment may involve physical therapy, anti-inflammatory medications, and in some cases, surgery to repair the torn tendon.
Bankart Tear: A Bankart tear refers to damage to the labrum, a ring of cartilage that lines the shoulder socket. It often occurs due to shoulder dislocation or repetitive shoulder instability. Symptoms include shoulder pain, a feeling of instability, and limited range of motion. Treatment options may include physical therapy to strengthen the shoulder muscles or surgical repair of the torn labrum.
