🔍 Myths vs. Facts | ACL Injury
In this series, common myths about musculoskeletal conditions are debunked, and evidence-based facts are shared to help you better understand and manage your pain.
The Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) is one of the major ligaments in your knee. It connects the tibia and the femur and is the main ligament responsible for controlling the stability of the knee joint during landing and pivoting actions.
Australia has the highest reported rates of ACL injury in the world. Research reports that over the last 15 years, the annual incidence of ACL injuries has increased by 74% among Australians under the age of 25. ACL injury most commonly occurs during sports that involve sudden stops or changes in direction, jumping and landing such as soccer, basketball, football, AFL, rugby union, rugby league, Netball and downhill skiing. It occurs in both males and females.
