An ACL Injury Doesn't Have to Mean Surgery

Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries are a fairly common injury for athletes of all types. Almost 200,000 people in the U.S. will experience an ACL injury this year. Many people who sustain an injury of this type decide to have surgery to repair their torn ligament, but surgery may not always be right for every patient.

Treatment plans differ for every person and are dependent upon many factors. Putting serious consideration into these factors will help you and your physician decide which route to recovery will best fit your lifestyle.

Keep in mind that if you elect not to have an ACL reconstruction, you will still have a treatment plan to strengthen your leg muscles and learn to better control the knee to avoid instability.

If you would like to learn more about ACL reconstruction, call Southern California Orthopedic Institute today at (877) 952-8484 to set up an appointment with one of our specialists. You can also visit our Patient Education Center online for more information.
