ACL/PCL Injury
The ACL and PCL are key knee ligaments that help control forward and backward movement of the shinbone and maintain knee stability.
Common causes or risk factors
- Sudden stops or changes in direction
- Pivoting or twisting injuries, especially in sports
- Direct impact to the knee from falls, accidents, or trauma
Common symptoms
- Pain and swelling
- Instability or a giving-way sensation
- Reduced range of motion
- Difficulty bearing weight
How it is diagnosed
- Physical examination
- MRI, X-rays, or other imaging when recommended
Treatment considerations
- Bracing, physiotherapy, and conservative care may be used for some injuries
- Surgical reconstruction may be required for severe tears or high-demand patients
How orthotic care may help
Knee bracing may help stabilize and protect the joint during recovery or activity.
