Sports-related
Traumatic Injury
Case #1
One of the
most common injuries of the knee is a tear of the anterior cruciate ligament
(ACL). Currently, the estimated incidence of ACL injuries is approximately
200,000 each year. Reconstructions of the ACL occur in about half of these
cases. High risk sports for an ACL injury include basketball, football,
skiing, and soccer. Through this case we’ll look at the process of
diagnosing and repairing an ACL tear.
