Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) Injury

An anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury is a common and serious injury affecting the knee, particularly among athletes involved in high-impact sports like soccer, basketball, and skiing. The ACL is one of the key ligaments that help stabilize the knee joint, and a tear can occur due to a sudden change in direction, a direct blow, or landing awkwardly from a jump. Symptoms of an ACL injury include a loud pop at the time of injury, severe pain, swelling, and instability of the knee. Treatment often involves a combination of physical therapy and surgical reconstruction to restore knee stability and function, followed by a comprehensive rehabilitation program.
