Injuries to the anterior cruciate ligament, often associated with sport-related movements.
The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is one of the key ligaments that stabilise the knee. It is commonly injured during sports that involve sudden stopping, pivoting or landing from a jump.
Most ACL injuries occur during sport-related movements such as abrupt changes of direction or landing awkwardly.
Evaluation includes a focused history, physical examination of knee stability, and appropriate imaging to confirm the diagnosis and check for associated injuries.
Treatment decisions depend on the individual patient — their age, activity level, and the pattern of injury. Options include non-surgical rehabilitation and surgical reconstruction where appropriate.
