The anterior cruciate ligament can be injured in several ways:

• Changing direction rapidly
• Stopping suddenly
• Slowing down while running
• Landing from a jump incorrectly
• Direct contact or collision, such as a football tackle

Around half of anterior cruciate ligament injuries occur along with damage to other parts of the knee, such as meniscus, other ligaments or articular cartilage.

Injured ligaments are considered "sprains" and are graded on a severity scale.

Grade 1 Sprains - The Ligament is only slightly damaged. It has been slightly stretched but it is still able to keep the knee joint stable and semi-functional.

Grade 2 Sprains - The ligament is stretched to the point where it becomes loose. This is referred to as a partial tear of the ligament.

Grade 3 Sprains - This is referred to as a complete tear of the ligament. The ligament is split into two pieces, making the knee joint highly unstable.

Partial tears of the ligament are extremely rare; most ACL injuries are either near complete tears or full tears of the anterior cruciate ligament.

Surgical Treatment for anterior cruciate ligament:

Most ACL tears cannot be stitched back together and in order to surgically repair the ACL and restore full knee stability, the ligament must be reconstructed by the doctor. Your physician will replace your torn ligament with a tissue graft. The graft acts as scaffolding for a new ligament to grow on.

Grafts can be taken from several places. They are usually taken from the patellar tendon, which runs between the kneecap and shinbone.

Each graft source has advantages and disadvantages. These issues will be discussed with your doctor in order to insure the best possible choice.

After the procedure is complete, it may take as long as six months before the knee will return to full working capacity.
