Compression
You can wrap an elastic bandage or compression band around the affected area. This can provide protection for the joints around the knee and allow the injury to recover more quickly. Make sure to wrap a few times and check whether the band is sufficiently snug. However, it should not be too tight that can cut off blood circulation to the knee area. Depending on the severity of your ACL tear, you would need somebody to help you wrap the band. [2]
