ACL Injury(ACL Tear) – Symptoms and Causes

Accidents

In addition to sports, many cases of ACL injury can happen during a fall off the ladder, missing a staircase’s step, or a vehicle accident. These incidents can excessively pull or stretch the ligament and rip it. The size and severity can vary, ranging from a slight tear in the tissue fibers to a serious detachment and tear. To reduce the risk, you should wear protective gear when working from a high area and follow safety rules. [7]
