There is no fixed amount of time it will take to have your braces removed. One thing you can be sure of though, is that it will be much quicker than when you had them attached. Expect to be in there for around an hour for all the braces to be taken off and all the follow-up work to be done.
When ligaments are damaged, the knee joint may become unstable. Ligament damage often occurs from a sports injury. A torn ligament severely limits knee movement, resulting in the inability to pivot, turn, or twist the leg. Surgery is an option to repair a torn ligament if other medical treatment is not effective. There are 4 major ligaments in the knee. The ligaments in the knee connect the femur (thighbone) to the tibia (shin bone), and include the following: Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL).
Other names: Ligament tear, knee strain. A knee sprain simply means that one of the knee ligaments has been overstretched and that some or all of the fibres have been damaged. This usually occurs when there is a force through the knee eg a tackle in sport or sudden twisting of the knee eg when falling awkardly.ere we will look at the most common causes of a knee sprain and which ligament tends to be affected: 1) ACL Sprain: Sudden twisting or hyperextension (the knee bending back too far). 2) PCL Sprain: Force through a bent knee e.g. a fall onto a bent knee, car accident where the knee hits the dashboard.
