Understanding the ACL Injury
The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) plays a crucial role in stabilizing the knee during physical activities, particularly in sports. Common mechanisms of ACL injuries include sudden changes in direction, contact from another player, or hyperextension of the knee. In Australia, ACL injuries are prevalent, particularly in sports like Australian rules football, leading to a high number of reported cases. Recognizing the symptoms and mechanisms behind these injuries helps inform better treatment options and management strategies.
