Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) Injury
An ACL injury is a common knee injury and can be a debilitating experience, especially for active individuals. The ACL plays a crucial role in stabilising the knee and connects the femur (thigh bone) and tibia (shin bone). The ACL can be strained or stretched, partially ruptured, or completely ruptured.
