Knee injury is one of the most common reasons people see their doctors. Your knee is a complex joint with many components, making it vulnerable to a variety of injuries. Many knee injuries can be successfully treated with simple measures, such as bracing and rehabilitation exercises.
The most commonly injured ligament in the knee is the ACL, which usually tears from an uncontrolled deceleration. For example, football, soccer, hockey, skiing and other sports in which players are moving quickly and then forced to slow down or stop in an uncontrolled fashion can often lead to torn ACLâs.
