anterior cruciate ligament rupture
Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is an important stabilizer of the knee.
Rupture of ACL is a common sports injury and is seen in young actives people (1,2)
ACL tears are specially important since instability of the knee may result in intraarticular damage (specially menisceal tears) and increase risk of secondary osteoarthiris occurring years after the injury if not properly managed.
