ACL Tear Treatment & Reconstruction | Get Back to Activity Safely
An ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) tear is one of the most common knee injuries—especially for athletes and active individuals—and it can lead to instability, pain, and difficulty returning to sports or daily activities.
In this video, Dr. Drew Ratner, board-certified orthopedic surgeon at American Orthopedics in Greenville, SC, explains ACL injuries, treatment options, and what patients can expect from ACL reconstruction surgery and recovery.
You’ll learn:
* What the ACL does and how tears occur
* Common symptoms like knee instability, swelling, and reduced mobility
* When non-surgical treatment may be effective
* When ACL reconstruction surgery is recommended
* How modern surgical techniques restore stability and function
* What recovery looks like, including rehab timelines and return-to-sport guidance
Dr. Ratner takes a personalized, patient-first approach, helping each patient determine the best path forward based on their activity level, goals, and long-term joint health.
