Interior Cruciate Ligament Tear
Interior Cruciate Ligament Tear. There is a ligament on each side of the knee (the collateral ligaments) and two ligaments deep inside the knee. Injured ligaments are considered "sprains" and are graded on a severity scale.
The tear may be partial (the ligament is torn a little) or total (the ligament is torn into two pieces). An anterior cruciate ligament injury occurs when the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is either stretched, partially torn, or completely torn. ACL's usually tear in the mid-substance or mid portion of the ligament.
About half of all injuries to the anterior cruciate ligament occur along with damage to other structures in the knee, such as articular cartilage, meniscus, or other ligaments.
Women are more likely to injure their ACL than men.
Often the diagnosis can be made on the basis of the physical exam. Some people have trouble standing or putting pressure on the hurt leg. An ACL rupture results from a severe injury to the knee.
