Can Walking On A Torn ACL Make It Worse?

Can Walking On A Torn ACL Make It Worse?

ACL tears can produce knee instability and episodes of giving way. Continuing to walk on an unstable knee without support can increase the risk of injuring additional knee structures during an episode of instability. Attempting to quickly stop, change directions or pivot on the involved knee will make the instability episodes worse.
