Don't let an ACL injury take you out of the game
An ACL injury is a relatively common knee injury and is a sprain or tear in the anterior cruciate ligament. Athletes who participate in sports such as soccer, football, basketball, volleyball and other high demand sports are more likely to injure their ACL. Other causes include: sudden stopping and going, collision or direct contact resulting in a fall, changing direction rapidly or incorrectly landing a jump. If you have swelling, pain, loss of full range of motion, discomfort when walking, tenderness and the feeling of instability, the knee specialists at OrthoIndy can help.
