Top 10 Things to Know About ACL Injury
Knee injuries can be painful. The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is a key tissue band of ligaments which stabilizes your knee joint, holding the bones in your knee together. The purpose of the ACL is to prevent your tibia from sliding out in front of your femur.
ACL injuries are most common in athletes but may occur in anyone when a rapid change in direction, abrupt stop or significant collision happens. Given the ACEL is one of the most vital ligaments in your knee, injuring it can be very painful.
