Understanding ACL Injuries

Anterior Cruciate Ligament Injuries, known as an ACL injury, is one of the most common injuries to the knee.

Rupture of the ACL is a common injury in popular Australian sports such as AFL, rugby, and netball. Research shows that women experience a higher number of ACL injuries than men.

Australia has the highest reported rates of ACL injury globally and has risen by 70 per cent in under those aged over 25 years in the last 15 years. As such, the waiting list for surgery in public hospitals for ACL Reconstruction Surgery can be up to 365 days.

Medical Journal of Australia, 2018

  • Severe pain and inability to continue an activity
  • Rapid swelling
  • Loss of range of motion
  • A feeling of instability or “giving way” with weight-bearing
