What is ACL Tear?
An ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) tear is a common knee injury, especially among athletes and active individuals. The ACL is one of the key ligaments that help stabilize your knee joint by connecting the thigh bone (femur) to the shinbone (tibia). Tears can occur due to sudden stops, changes in direction, or direct impacts to the knee
Symptoms of an ACL Tear
Common indicators of an ACL tear include:
These symptoms can vary in intensity depending on the severity of the tear.
Why ACL Tears Happen?
Several factors can increase the risk of an ACL tear:
Activities like soccer, basketball, football, and skiing involve movements that stress the ACL.
Females are more susceptible due to anatomical and hormonal differences.
Weak muscles around the knee can lead to instability.
Using ill-fitting shoes or poorly maintained sports gear can increase risk.
This surface may contribute to a higher incidence of ACL injuries.
Can ACL Tears Heal Without Surgery?
Yes—especially in cases of partial ACL tears or in individuals with low-impact activity levels. With advancements in regenerative medicine, ACL injuries Grade 1, 2, 3 or 4 can now be treated without invasive procedures. Proven Interventional Orthopedic treatments focuses on stimulating the body’s own healing response to restore ligament function, healing and knee stability.
Non-Surgical ACL Treatment Options
Regenexx offers non-surgical, regenerative treatments for ACL tears, focusing on the body's natural healing processes.
Their approach includes:
- Precise imaging-guided injections: Utilizing advanced imaging to deliver treatments directly to the injured area.
- Orthobiologic treatments: Employing high dose platelet-rich plasma know as Super Concentrated Platelets and bone marrow concentrate or Mesenchymal Cells to promote tissue repair.
- Customized rehabilitation protocols: Tailoring recovery plans to individual needs for optimal outcomes.
This method aims to restore knee stability and function without the need for invasive surgery.
If you're considering treatment options for an ACL tear, it's essential to consult with a healthcare professional to determine the most appropriate approach based on your specific condition and lifestyle.
This approach provides an alternative to traditional surgical methods, potentially reducing the need for prescription medications and lengthy rehabilitation.
01. Super Concentrated Platelets (SCP)
Harnessing the power of your own blood, Super Concentrated Platelets (SCP) represent the next generation of natural healing technology. This advanced regenerative treatment is designed to accelerate your body’s repair process using concentrated platelets and growth factors.
- SCP and Platelet Lysate harness the healing growth factors from your blood to enhance natural repair.
- Platelet injections stimulate repair cells to amplify healing.
- Procedures use high-level imaging for precise cell placement.
- More concentrated and purer than any other PRP available in the world.
02. Mesenchymal Cells
Mesenchymal cells, also known as healing cells, are a cutting-edge solution in regenerative orthopedics. By leveraging the body’s own ability to heal, this treatment works at the cellular level to repair tissue, reduce pain, and restore function without surgery.
- Cell Concentrate containing repair cells for healing.
- Harvests and concentrates cells from the hip, injecting them into the injury with advanced imaging guidance.
- Procedure aims to reduce pain and improve function by enhancing and triggering the body’s inherent healing mechanism.
- Protocol treats various orthopedic conditions.
Benefits of Non-Surgical ACL Treatment
- Avoids surgical risks and complications
- Faster recovery with minimal downtime
- Utilizes the body’s own natural healing mechanisms
- Cost-effective and minimally invasive
