What the Best ACL Doctor Can Do for You

ACL injuries, or the damage of the anterior cruciate ligament of the knee, are common sports injuries that can involve a partial tear, complete tear, or overextension of the ligament. If you believe you have a torn or damaged ACL, it is essential to seek treatment immediately. The best ACL doctor in town can provide you with prompt and appropriate care.

An ACL injury is often sudden and will include a few universal symptoms. Most people will report a “popping” sensation in the knee followed by pain, loss of range of motion, instability, and swelling within a few hours. The pain is usually great enough to limit weight-bearing and cause the person to cease the activity.

Prevention

Striving to prevent ACL injuries is important for the long-term preservation of the knee. Seek proper training and exercise routines from our ACL doctor. These exercises can teach you how to strengthen the legs, hips, pelvis, and abdomen; how to have proper technique when jumping, landing, pivoting and cutting; and how to improve balance.

Diagnosis

A skilled ACL doctor can often make an ACL diagnosis by a physical exam alone, checking for swelling, tenderness, range of motion, and pain. Occasionally, further studies may be needed to verify the diagnosis or see the severity of the injury. These may include x-rays or other tests. Our doctor can order these as needed.

Rehabilitation

Our ACL doctor will probably recommend rehabilitation as the primary treatment for most ACL injuries. Rehabilitation works to reduce swelling and pain, strengthen muscles and restore full movement and range of motion.

Surgery

Our doctor may recommend surgery if rehabilitation has been unsuccessful and if continued pain and instability are issues. He may also recommend surgery if you are young and active, if you are an athlete who wants to continue playing the sport that puts you at risk for further ACL injury, or if the injury involves multiple ligaments. ACL reconstruction involves using specialized techniques.

Finding Care

Finding the right ACL doctor who can help you through treatment involves a few key things. It’s always a good idea to take your time to ask around, but if you live in Phoenix, AZ or the surrounding area, visit Angelo Mattalino, MD. Our team has extensive experience in developing customized treatment plans for ACL injuries. Contact us today to set up an initial consultation in Phoenix, AZ and get started.
