While complete ACL tears almost always require surgery, partial ACL tears may be treated effectively with nonsurgical methods. ACL tears are graded by severity and are called sprains (a sprain is a stretch or tear in a ligament). A grade 1 ACL sprain occurs when your ACL is overstretched, but not torn.
ACL surgery can cause damage in many different parts of the knee. This damage can happen due to removing stem cells that the knee needs to stay healthy, damage to the ligaments that hold the meniscus in place, and damage to the knee tendons. These areas of surgery-induced damage can also cause pain after ACL surgery.Jun 1, 2020
Recognizing the Red Flags Pain is your knee’s way of saying, “Hey, let’s take it easy.” If walking increases your pain significantly, it’s a sign to cut back. Swelling. If your knee swells up after walking, it’s a clear indicator you’ve overdone it. Stiffness and instability.
Swelling: Swelling around the knee joint is another common symptom of graft failure. The swelling may be localized or diffuse and may worsen after physical activity or prolonged standing. Decreased Range of Motion: Graft failure can lead to stiffness and decreased range of motion in the knee joint.
