ACL Knee Ligament Injury Health Byte
Injuries to the anterior cruciate ligament, commonly known as the ACL, are very common in sports from skiing to football. Find out more about this debilitating injury by taking a look at this video.
An ACL tear is usually indicated by a popping sound and a feeling that the knee has separated. Immediate treatment is very important, including icing the ligament to reduce swelling and working to maintain range of motion. After range of motion has been reestablished, surgery is usually the next course of action to repair the torn ligament and associated injuries.
