Partial rupture of the ACL

Anterior cruciate ligament (PARTIAL RUPTURE)

Injury to the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) remains a major challenge to orthopedic community.

Early diagnosis, evaluation and treatment are constantly discussed in the literature, without agreement between the authors note, especially as it relates to the interpretation and prognosis of these lesions.

The search for explanations for these differences encouraged me to study, and this chapter helped me to a better understanding of ACL injuries, especially injury defined as partial, rarely addressed in the literature, with conflicting results and interpretations.

Obviously, many of ligament injuries in professional athletes, are in fact extremely serious. But as I mentioned in earlier texts, we can not look at each one of them equally, ie a face as more damage and give this recipe for "cake".

In most instances of partial ACL tears, I have observed many experts in health reporting as the only solution and without any hesitation as the only alternative to surgery. (Not all cases should be directed to the "only way")

What I completely disagree, and think it's no harm trying to evolve a little more on sports medicine.

Reporting this with practical examples. When an athlete come to me, is making medical monitor (RM) and had some despair. For it had been observed by a health professional, who seeing the same tests that I had to watch later, the doctor had told him no doubt he would have to undergo a surgical intervention. (Which implies a long break without doubt to the athlete). When I saw the same tests, I performed some tests, I spoke with the athlete and he proposed a treatment protocol for 8 weeks (with the help of Mesotherapy). The athlete immediately accept the protocol that I proposed, and proceeded to work. At the end of seven weeks, the athlete was advised to conduct a new examination in order to observe the evolutionary process of recovery. The result of the 2nd MRI was the opposite of the 1st, while the first test was declared a ruptured part of the ACL, the second was not mentioned any injury to the ACL, here the merit also goes to the athlete who quite sure about the protocol trace. (The protocol basically consisted in the administration of drugs with the help of mesotherapy, which accelerate the healing process of tissue).

This is simply my story is the fact: we will not subject the body to asurgical intervention for everything and anything. For everythingyou need to grow and evolve, and good professional is one who has full knowledge of its limitations (no one who does not have them!). I say this with some sadness, because I have seen many athletes subject to fewer own diagnosis and treatment for theirdiseases in their own clubs.
