Abstract

Knee joint is heavily stressed joint in the body. It has two completely incompatible properties of stability and mobility. It heavily depends on quadriceps femoris and collateral ligaments for stability. Due to increasing number of accidents and sports injuries, knee ligament injuries are also increasing in number, which more commonly occurs in anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), medial collateral ligament (MCL) and meniscus. However, surgical reconstruction does not guarantee a previous level of activity. In this single case study an effort is made to manage knee ligament injury through Ayurveda. A 38 years old female suffering from anterior cruciate ligament tear and complex tear in body and posterior horn of medial meniscus was treated with Janu basti and internal medicine. The duration of the treatment was 30 days, which provided relief from pain with noticeable improvement in the movement of knee joint.
