Abstract

Anterior cruciate ligament rupture is one of the most common musculo-skeletal injuries in active individuals, especially athletes. Varmam treatment, as part of the Siddha, primarily treats traumatic injuries. A 25-year-old female patient came to Varma Maruthuvam OPD, National Institute of Siddha, Chennai, with complaints of severe right knee joint pain, swelling, walking difficulty, instability while walking, and difficulty in flexion and extension of the right knee joint for 10 days. Initially, she consulted an allopathic hospital, and after her MRI was done, she was diagnosed with an anterior cruciate ligament tear grade II and advised for surgery. The patient refused to go for surgery and came to our OPD for further management. She was treated with Siddha Varmam therapy and external medicine, Murivu ennai, for 50 days and followed up for four months. The ligament tear healed without any surgical treatment, and the patient returned to her regular work, which was assessed by a visual analogue scale. This case report summarizes the conservative management of an anterior cruciate ligament tear grade II by Siddha Varmam therapy.
