ACL Tear
Although the commonest cause of an ACL tear is sports related injury, it can also tear as a result of road traffic accident, fall and relatively minor injury. Pivoting or landing from height is the commonest mechanism of ACL rupture.
Patients with ACL tear mainly complain of knee joint giving out and feeling of instability mainly with turning and twisting activities, e.g. sporting activities. When there is significant injury, instability can be there even on day to day actives.
