Detailed explanation-1: -An ACL injury is a tear or sprain of the anterior cruciate (KROO-she-ate) ligament (ACL)-one of the strong bands of tissue that help connect your thigh bone (femur) to your shinbone (tibia).
Detailed explanation-2: -ACL injuries can either be complete or partial. While complete ACL tears almost always require surgery, partial ACL tears may be treated effectively with nonsurgical methods. ACL tears are graded by severity and are called sprains (a sprain is a stretch or tear in a ligament).
Detailed explanation-3: -An ACL injury may develop into long-lasting and recurrent (chronic) ACL deficiency that leads to an unstable knee-the knee buckles or gives out, sometimes with pain and swelling.
Detailed explanation-4: -Most people recover from an ACL tear within six to nine months.
