Muscle & Ligament Tear Repair

Quadriceps (Thigh Muscle tear), Ankle Ligament tears, TA Ligament tears, and other muscular tears are treated with the world's most advanced techniques at our world-class treatment center at SportsMed Fortis Jaipur Rajasthan, India.

Muscle tears are an ordinary cause of injury and chronic pain in athletes. A person who experiences a muscle tear will frequently explain a popping or snapping sensation as the muscle tears. Pain is sudden and may be severe. The injured area may be affectionate to the touch, with noticeable bruising if blood vessels are also out of order.

Muscle strains generally happen when a muscle is stretched away from its limit, tearing the muscle fibers. They regularly occur near the point where the muscle joins the tough, fibrous connective tissue of the tendon. A related injury occurs if there is a direct blow to the muscle. Muscle strains in the thigh can be quite hurting. Mild strain, with a small number of muscle fibers being torn and generally heals readily within weeks. Moderate strain, with a clear-cut loss in strength and complete tear of the muscle and often may take months to repair.

Most ordinary Muscle Tears in the Body:

Shoulder to elbow (Rotator Cuff, biceps and triceps)
Elbow to wrist region (Extensor/Flexor muscle groups)
Spine (Trapezius, Latissimus dorsi and Quadratus lumborum)

Hip to Knee region (Quadriceps, Hamstring, Hip Flexor and Adductors)
Knee to Ankle (calf/gastrocs and peroneals)

Ligament Tears

A ligament is a fibrous tissue that connects bones to further bones and provides support to joints. They permit a normal range of movement to happen within a joint but prevent unwanted movement that would cause it to be jointly unstable. In order to accomplish this function, ligaments must possess immense mechanical tensile strength. Ligaments are classified as solid connective tissue, and they consist of a protein material called collagen. The group of collagen fibers provides the ligament its tensile strength.

One more function of ligaments is to give proprioceptive input to the brain that allows a person to know what situation the joints are in, without having to look. This helps to carry out the complex corresponding activities needed for the sport.

Ligament Tears Are Classified In 3 Grades:

Grade 1 injuries engage a stretch of the ligament with microscopic tearing but not macroscopic tearing. Commonly, little swelling is there, with little or no functional loss and no joint instability. The patient is capable of fully or partially carrying weight.
Grade 2 injuries stretch the ligament with partial tearing, sensible to severe swelling, bruising, moderate functional loss, and mild to moderate joint flux. Patients usually have complexity-bearing weight.
Grade 3 injuries engage the complete break of the ligament, with instant and severe swelling; bruising; an inability to bear weight; and sensible to severe instability of the joint. Usually, patients cannot bear weight without experiencing ruthless pain.

Most ordinary Ligament Tears in the Body:

Shoulder (Acromioclavicular, transverse ligament)
Elbow (Medial and Lateral collateral)
Wrist (Carpal tunnel)
Knee (ACL-PCL, Medial, and Lateral Collateral)
Ankle (Lateral Ankle Ligaments/ Syndesmosis, Deltoid)

Symptoms of Muscle Tears

A sportsperson who experiences a muscle tear will repeatedly describe a popping or snapping feeling in the muscle tears. Tenderness is sudden and may be severe. The area around the injury may be tender with noticeable bruising. Once a muscle tear occurs, the muscle is vulnerable to re-injury, so it is important to let the muscle repair properly and to follow preventive protocols.

They May Shows Signs of Swelling, bruising or redness, or open cuts as an end result of the injury Pain when the exact muscle or the joint in relation to that muscle is used Weakness of the muscle or tendons (A sprain, in contrast, is an injury to a joint and its ligaments.) Helplessness to use the muscle at all.

Other Symptoms May Include:

Swelling for the duration of the initial few hours after injury.
Staining or discolorations of the injured area over the initial few days.
Weakness in your muscle that can continue for weeks.

Symptoms of Ligament Tears

The majority of ligament tears, you feel ache right away at the position of the tear. Often the part starts to swell instantaneously and may bruise. The immediate area is generally tender to touch, and it hurts to be in motion.

In further severe sprains, you may hear and/or feel something tear, along with a pop or snap. You will possibly have extreme ache at the initial and will not be able to walk or even put weight on the part involved. Generally, the extra pain and swelling you have, the more severe your sprain is and the longer it will take to restore to physical condition.

Nonsurgical Treatment

In numerous cases, the initial treatment for injuries is nonsurgical. Treatment options may include Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medication. Drugs like ibuprofen and NSAIDs diminish pain and swelling. Chiropractic and Physical Therapy. Specific exercise will restore movement and strengthen your injury.

Flexibility and range-of-motion exercises will contain stretching and exercises to make stronger the muscles that support your injury can ease pain and prevent further injury. This exercise course can be continued everywhere from 3 to 6 months, and usually engage working with a qualified Practitioner.

Surgical Treatment

Your Sports Chiropractor or Physiotherapist may suggest surgery if your pain does not get better with nonsurgical methods for conservative care.

Nowadays, the surgical technique most commonly used for fixing tears to ligaments and muscle injury is arthroscopy. During arthroscopy, your surgeon put in a small camera, called an arthroscope, into the area involved. The camera displays pictures on a screen, and your surgeon utilizes these images to conduct miniature surgical instruments.

Because the arthroscope and surgical instruments are thin, your surgeon can use very tiny incisions (cuts), rather than the larger the incision needed for standard, open surgery.
