You might have seen that Matilda’s star Sam Kerr ruptured her ACL (Anterior Cruciate Ligament) at a training camp recently. Your ACL is a ligament in your knee that is a core stabiliser which works by limiting how far forward the femur can move compared to the tibia. Rupturing an ACL is a common, and often career-ending sports injury for professional and amateur athletes alike. It is usually a non-contact injury occurring during a sudden change of direction. In terms of treatment, most people opt for surgery to repair their ACL using a tendon graft from either their hamstring or patella tendon. However, some people have synthetic grafts or grafts from a donor.

Recently, more and more people are opting for a non-surgical route. Australian researchers, developed the ‘Cross Bracing Protocol’ to be used with certain types of tears. It is thought that bracing the knee at 90 degrees and progressively straightening it over 12 weeks may allow the ACL to repair itself. This is radically different from the primarily operative approach that we are all so used to. However, regardless of which intervention you choose, physiotherapy is what gets you back to doing what you love.
