10 Torn ACL Symptoms
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
Symptom #10: Recurring Injury
The ACL, and the knee joint overall, is quite strong, strong enough to withstand the forces we place upon it on a daily basis. While the ligament can occasionally be torn, most of us are unlikely to put it under the kind of strain that can cause the injury. If it happens once, though, then the chances of it happening again may be increased.
If a torn ACL is not treated properly, such as with surgery if necessary, then it may never regain its original strength. This means that it becomes easier for the ACL to be torn again. Not only will this put the patient under more pain, but it will also likely make the injury even worse.
