ACL injury is one of the most common sport knee injuries sustained while playing football, rugby, and cricket.
ACL is the main stabilisation of rotation of movement and anterior translation of the knee joint with ACL injury. Patients complain of pain, swelling, and decreased range of movement of the knee.
