🔍 What is an ACL Tear?
The Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) is a key ligament that stabilizes the knee joint. It prevents excessive forward movement and rotation of the tibia (shin bone). A tear typically occurs due to sudden changes in direction, twisting injuries, or direct impact — especially in sports like football, basketball, cricket, or gymnastics.

- Sudden deceleration or landing from a jump
- Direct impact to the knee
