Do You Have These Symptoms of ACL?

If your knee pain is moderate to severe, and you got it while jumping, twisting, or making other rapid movements that put a strain on your knee, it’s very likely you could have an anterior cruciate ligament injury. 

Not sure if you or a loved one have an ACL injury? Here are some of the signs:

• • A “pop“ or “popping“ sound and/or sensation in the affected knee
  • The knee feels weak, unstable, or otherwise unable to support the weight it usually supports, sometimes referred to as a “trick knee“
  • The range of motion is severely reduced
  • Severe pain after an accident
  • Swelling after an injury

What Causes Anterior Cruciate Ligament Injuries?

ACL injuries usually occur when the knee is twisted out of its normal range of motion. This can happen from a quick turn or from jumping and then landing at a hard or awkward angle. ACL can also be caused by hyperextension or by sudden stops in movement. In nearly all cases, it is associated with rapid movement in a sport or other activity.
