The ACL is one of two ligaments inside the knee joint. This ACL runs from the top surface of the tibia diagonally into the large notch at the end of the femur and prevents the tibia from sliding too far forward underneath the femur. It also helps prevent over-straightening and overrotation of the femur on the tibia.
An ACL injury usually occurs when the knee is sharply twisted or extended beyond its normal
range of motion.
The three grades of ACL injury range from mild to severe.
1. Sprain Trauma to the ligament is relatively minor. Some of the fibers are stretched.
2. Grade II – Partial Tear Trauma to the ligament is more severe. Some of the fibers are torn.
3. Grade III – Complete Tear This is the most severe ACL injury. The fibers of the ligament are
completely torn.
