What is the ACL and Why Is It Important?
The Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) is one of the key ligaments that helps stabilize your knee joint. It connects the thigh bone (femur) to the shin bone (tibia).
It plays a crucial role in pivoting, turning, twisting, and jumping — especially during sports and physical activity
How Do ACL Injuries Happen?
ACL injuries are most common in:
- Athletes playing football, basketball, cricket, or kabaddi
- Gymgoers doing intense squats or leg presses
- Sudden stops, awkward landings, or twisting movements
- Accidental slips or road traffic accidents
Common Symptoms of an ACL Tear
- A “pop” sound or sensation in the knee at the time of injury
- Swelling within a few hours
- Severe pain, especially during movement
- Knee feeling unstable or “giving way”
- Difficulty walking, climbing stairs, or playing sports
If these symptoms are present, it’s important to get evaluated immediately to prevent further damage to cartilage or meniscus.
