Anterior Cruciate Ligament Injury
Although there are many ACL injuries,the ACL is next to the most commonly injured knee ligament, the posterior cruciate ligament (PCL).[1] and commonly injured by athletes. The ACL is often torn during sudden dislocation of the knee, twisting, hyperextending. It is a very common injury in skiing, skating and football due to the enormous amount of pressure, weight and number of blows the knee must withstand.
Diagnosis
The Lachman test is supported by most authorities to be the most reliable and sensitive maneuver for the diagnosis of an ACL tear.
