How A Trusted Orthopedic Surgeon Can Help Athletes with ACL Injuries


The anterior cruciate ligament is one of the four most important ligaments in the knee area. It is extremely vital for movement because it acts as the stablizer of the knee joint, reducing the stress caused by the applied pressure by limiting the knee’s excessively forward and rotational movements. An anterior cruciate ligament is important in a knee’s anatomy and function, and injuring it will need treatment from a board-certified Colorado Springs orthopedic surgeon. An article from LiveStrong.com states: “ACL injuries are one of the most common knee injuries among athletes. According to the American Orthopedic Society for Sports Medicine, about 150,000 ACL injuries occur in the United States every year. The same source reports that ACL injuries account for more than a $500 million in U.S. health-care costs each year.”
