10 Torn ACL Symptoms
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
Symptom #9: Feeling of Instability
A torn ACL will heal, and the patient will usually regain full use of the knee joint. That does not mean to say that the ligament will return to full strength, though, and the whole joint may feel weaker as a result. People will often feel as though the joint is not completely stable even for years after the injury initially took place.
Ideally, if you do think you have torn your ACL, you should get it seen to by a specialist. In some cases, they may recommend surgery. Although this is unlikely to sound appealing, it can be necessary to ensure your knee joint regains its full strength.
