10 Torn ACL Symptoms
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
The knee is a very important joint that helps give us the flexibility, strength, and balance we need to be able to walk, run, and climb. It is where the upper and lower leg bones come together, and consists of bones, cartilage, tendons, muscle, nerves, and ligaments. One of these ligaments is the Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL).
