ACL Injury: Surgical vs. Non-Surgical Treatment
You’re about to score another footie goal, perform an impressive slam dunk or pull off the perfect ski slalom. Then it all goes wrong. There’s a popping noise and your knee gives way. The pain is intense and the knee is swelling fast.
Why? Because you’ve injured your ACL. You’re going to be benched for a while as you undergo diagnostic tests, physiotherapy and possibly surgery followed by more physiotherapy.
What is an ACL injury?
Your anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is one of two major ligaments in your knee. It’s a strong band of tissue that connects your femur (thighbone) to your tibia (shinbone) to help stabilise your knee joint.
An ACL injury happens when you tear or sprain that ligament.
