Rotator Cuff Tear: Signs You Shouldn’t Ignore

ACL (Anterior Cruciate Ligament) injuries are one of the most common sports-related knee injuries, especially among young athletes involved in football, basketball, volleyball, and running sports. An ACL tear can be serious—but with timely treatment, full recovery is possible.


🔹 Common Symptoms of an ACL Injury

  • Sudden “pop” sound at the time of injury

  • Rapid swelling of the knee

  • Instability or feeling like the knee may give way

  • Pain and inability to continue activity

  • Limited range of motion


🔹 Treatment Options

🏥 Non-Surgical

  • Usually for minor or partial tears or non-athletic individuals

  • Includes rest, physiotherapy, knee bracing, and anti-inflammatory meds

🩺 Surgical (ACL Reconstruction)

  • Recommended for complete tears or for athletes who want to return to high activity

  • Done via arthroscopic ACL reconstruction, a minimally invasive procedure

  • Involves replacing the torn ligament with a graft from the patient’s body or donor


🔹 Recovery Timeline

  • Phase 1 (0–2 weeks): Rest, ice, controlled movements

  • Phase 2 (2–6 weeks): Begin physiotherapy, improve strength

  • Phase 3 (2–6 months): Progressive strength training & balance

  • Return to Sports: Typically around 6–9 months, depending on rehab progress

Rotator Cuff Tear: Signs You Shouldn’t Ignore

The rotator cuff is a group of muscles and tendons that keep your shoulder joint stable and allow smooth arm movement. A tear in this structure can lead to significant pain and mobility issues — especially if left untreated.

Here are the key signs of a rotator cuff tear that should not be ignored:


🔹 1. Constant Shoulder Pain

Pain that worsens at night or while lying on the affected side is a common sign of a rotator cuff injury.


🔹 2. Weakness in the Arm

If you’re unable to lift objects, raise your arm overhead, or feel weakness during daily tasks, it may indicate tendon damage.


🔹 3. Limited Range of Motion

Difficulty in moving your arm in a full circle, or stiffness in the shoulder, could mean a tear.


🔹 4. Clicking or Popping Sound

A clicking sensation while moving the arm may signal a tendon tear or impingement.


🔹 5. Persistent Swelling or Inflammation

Swelling around the shoulder that doesn’t subside with rest should be evaluated.


Treatment Options

  • Mild Tears: Rest, ice, physiotherapy, anti-inflammatory medication

  • Severe/Complete Tears: May require arthroscopic rotator cuff repair
