An anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury is a tear or sprain of the ACL, a key ligament that stabilizes the knee, often resulting from sudden stops, pivots, or direct impacts. Symptoms include a popping sound at the time of injury, immediate swelling, pain, and instability when bearing weight on the knee. Treatment varies based on severity, ranging from rest and physical therapy for partial tears to surgical reconstruction for complete tears, followed by rehabilitation to restore knee strength and function.
