ACL Surgery: Symptoms of a Torn Anterior Cruciate Ligament

When it comes to knees, things are more complicated on the inside than they look on the outside. There are a lot of parts that connect and move it different ways in order for the knee joint as a whole to function the way it is supposed to. What this also means is that there are more parts that can potentially get damaged or injured as a result of accidents or strenuous physical activity.

When things start to not feel right in the knee during certain specific movements or trying to carry out normal activities, it is important to identify the cause of the pain or discomfort. And preferably sooner rather than later. The knee contains numerous soft tissue parts, some of which require restriction of activities in order to heal, and some which actually don't heal at all if torn.
