A ligament tear is a common injury that occurs when the ligaments—strong, fibrous tissues that connect bones at a joint—are stretched beyond their normal limits, resulting in partial or complete tearing. This type of injury often happens during sports or physical activities involving sudden stops, jumps, or changes in direction. At PVR Polyclinic, Dr. Prathap Perugu specializes in diagnosing and treating ligament tears to help patients regain mobility and return to their activities.
Symptoms of a ligament tear may include pain, swelling, bruising, instability of the joint, and difficulty in moving the affected area. Depending on the severity of the tear, treatment options will vary, ranging from conservative management to surgical intervention.
If you suspect a ligament tear, seeking prompt evaluation and treatment is crucial for a successful recovery. Schedule an appointment with Dr. Prathap Perugu at PVR Polyclinic to receive expert care tailored to your specific needs, helping you return to your active lifestyle with confidence.
