Abstract

This paper presents the findings of every basis to know about an ACL (Anterior cruciate ligament) rupture. The purpose of this paper is to help understand aspects of an ACL rupture basis from its anatomy and physiology to recovery factors highlighting key aspects about the injury. Understanding anatomy of and around the knee can prevent further injuries to other ligaments or cartilage. Research indicates that ACL tears can be taken care of through various techniques surgical or non-surgical. Rates of ACL tears vary reliant on factors such as age, training type, gender and other factors. Diagnostics of ACL ruptures are very crucial to understand the type of treatment you need from manual tests such as the Lachman test or to decide for a CT, MRI, X-ray or an ultrasound. Rehabilitation programs are the most important part of the injury where the athlete should follow the guide of a physical therapist by a 3-5 month program.
