What is an ACL Tear?

An ACL tear is an injury to the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), one of the key ligaments that stabilize the knee joint. The ACL connects the thighbone (femur) to the shinbone (tibia) and helps control rotational movements of the knee.

ACL injuries commonly occur during activities that involve sudden stops, twisting movements, or rapid changes in direction, such as sports and physical training.
