ACL tears

An ACL tear involves a rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament, one of the key ligaments that stabilize the knee joint. It often occurs during sports or sudden changes in direction, causing the knee to give way, swell, and become unstable. An ACL tear can range from a mild sprain to a complete rupture, possibly requiring surgical repair and extended rehab. Proper diagnosis and treatment are important to restore knee stability, prevent further injury, and enable a return to regular activities or sports.
