Summary of Anterior Cruciate Ligament injury
The anterior cruciate ligament (hereby known as ACL) binds the base of the thigh bone with the top of the shin bone, and is located deep within the knee joint. It is vital to providing the stability your knees need to withstand day to day movement and activity. Tearing your ACL is the most common injury that can be caused by sporting activity, and the extent of the damage is imperative in deciding if the remedy can be led by home exercises or surgical treatment.
