ACL injuries occur when bones of the leg twist in opposite directions under full body weight. |
Health Tips from Dr. Ducat:
Keep your hamstrings strong for a healthy ACL
Nothing can end a sports career like a torn anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury in the knee. About 80% of the time, these injuries occur when the athlete plants their foot and pivots away with their knee bent. The hamstring muscles that support the knee don't have enough endurance to control this quick movement and pressure is diverted to the ACL, which is only about 1/3" wide and about 1" long. The other 20% of ACL injuries are due to contact injuries with a direct blow to the side of the knee. Although you can't prevent injury from a direct blow, increasing the strength of your hamstring muscles can reduce your overall risk of ACL injuries. More...
