Knee joint is the most important joint of the body when it comes to mobility. The knee joint has 4 major ligaments namely anterior cruciate ligament, posterior cruciate ligament, lateral collateral ligament and medial collateral ligament. There are 2 meniscus as well i.e medial and lateral meniscus. The anterior cruciate ligament injury is the most common ligament injury of the knee. The ACL ligament can be injured both by a high velocity RTA or a low velocity twisting injury. It is one of the most common sports injury. In India many two wheeler accidents lead to ACL injuries. A torn ACL makes the knee unstable and prone to injuries. The main symptoms are instability and locking. The injured person has difficulty in going upstairs and specifically downstairs.

A successfully done knee ligament surgery makes the knee stable and long lasting. The chances of further injuries is reduced. Most of the injured sportsperson are back to sports. In India many sedentary individuals also sustain ACL injuries . The most common reason is lack of supple and muscular knee joint. Lack of aerobic exercise and training leads to a joint which is prone to injury. A physically unfit person who is not exercising leads to a weak quadricep and hamstring muscle which gives way when sustaining a minor injury. Hence aerobic exercises and safe sports techniques should be followed by a person to prevent himself from sports injuries.
