what if you do not do surgery for ACL ?
Hey there! When patients come to my office, they often ask me, “Sir, what if we never do ACL treatment? What could happen?” Well, let me share a few potential issues that might arise if you don’t undergo ACL treatment. This list is just a small selection, but it’s important to be aware of these possibilities. 1. Meniscus Injury: If you don’t get ACL treatment, you could end up with a meniscus injury. This can happen if the meniscus tears, and you might need to repair or remove it, depending on the severity of the tear. 2. Falls and Other Knee Ligament Damage: Without ACL treatment, you could be more prone to falls, which could lead to damage to other knee ligaments or even the side knee ACL. 3. Arthritis of the Knee Joint: Over time, without proper treatment, you could develop arthritis in your knee joint. 4. Limited Mobility: Without ACL treatment, you won’t be able to run, play sports, or jump like you used to. 5. Pain and Heaviness: You might also experience pain and heaviness in your knee joint. Remember, these are just a few potential risks, and there are many benefits to undergoing ACL treatment. It’s important to talk to your doctor about your individual needs and concerns, and to make an informed decision about the best course of action for you.
