ACL Tear
ACL or Anterior Cruciate Ligament tear is a common knee injury. Most athletes playing high impact sports like: Football, Cricket, Hockey, Kabbadi, Basketball etc., are prone to injure their Anterior Cruciate Ligament because of the overstretching of the ACL.
The knee joint is a complex structure of bones, ligaments, tendons and other tissues working together. Ligaments, being strong bands of tissue, connect one bone to another and the ACL is one of the two ligaments crossing in the middle of the knee connecting your thighbone (femur) to your shinbone (tibia). It is the knee joint’s internal stabilizer.
