Abstract

The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is the most injured ligament in the knee joint and is fundamental for rotational stability of the knee joint and to minimize stress. Tearing of the ACL usually occurs due to a pivot-deceleration motion or traumatic injury that causes hyperextension of the knee. ACL surgery attempts to restore normal function and stability of the knee. However research shows altered kinematic patterns post ACL reconstruction.
