Advanced treatment for ACL injuries, helping relieve pain and restore strength, stability and mobility.

An anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tear is a common knee injury that occurs when the ACL — one of the key stabilising ligaments in the knee — is stretched or torn. This type of injury often happens during sports or activities involving sudden direction changes, pivoting, or landing awkwardly. ACL tears can cause pain, swelling and a feeling of instability, making everyday movement and athletic activity difficult.

At The Coriel Clinic, our consultant-led specialists provide accurate diagnosis and personalised treatment plans tailored to your individual needs and activity goals. We focus on restoring knee stability, reducing pain and supporting a safe return to the activities you enjoy.

What Are the Symptoms of ACL Tear? (Anterior Cruciate Ligament)

Symptoms of an ACL tear can vary, but commonly include:

  • A sudden, sharp pain at the time of injury
  • Swelling within hours of the injury
  • A feeling of instability or “giving way” in the knee.
  • Difficulty bearing weight on the affected leg.
  • Reduced range of motion and stiffness
  • A popping sound at the moment of injury (commonly reported)

These symptoms can significantly impact mobility and should be evaluated by a specialist to determine the best course of treatment.

What Treatments Are Available for ACL Tear?

Treatment for an ACL tear depends on the severity of the injury, your lifestyle and activity goals. At The Coriel Clinic, we provide personalised, consultant-led care with both conservative and surgical options where appropriate.

Conservative (Non-Surgical) Management

Not all ACL tears require surgery. In some cases, particularly where stability remains adequate and activity levels are lower, conservative care may include:

  • Rest and activity modification to allow initial healing.
  • Targeted physiotherapy to strengthen surrounding muscles and improve mechanics.
  • Bracing or support to aid knee stability
  • Rehabilitation programmes designed to enhance function and reduce symptoms.

This approach aims to manage pain, improve function and build confidence in knee stability.

ACL Reconstruction Surgery

For many patients — especially those who are active or sporting — ACL reconstruction surgery is recommended to restore stability and reduce the risk of further injury. This procedure involves reconstructing the torn ligament using a graft, followed by a structured rehabilitation programme.

Your consultant will discuss all suitable treatment options with you, including the benefits, risks and expected recovery timeline, so you can make an informed decision about your care.

At The Coriel Clinic, our goal is to help you regain confidence, mobility and knee strength through expert care, tailored treatment plans and continuity of support throughout your recovery.
