ACL/PCL Tear

An ACL/PCL tear refers to a tear or rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) or posterior cruciate ligament, major ligaments in the knee joint. These ligaments play a crucial role in stabilizing the knee joint and controlling its forward and rotational movements. ACL/PCL tears are common sports-related injuries and can also occur due to traumatic accidents or other high-impact activities.
