An ACL injury can destabilize the knee and may cause instability during sports or everyday activities. Sports such as soccer, volleyball, basketball, and lacrosse place repeated stress on the ACL due to frequent jumping and changing direction.

Because other knee injuries can cause similar problems, an evaluation is needed for an accurate diagnosis. Orthopedic ONE’s sports medicine specialists treat ACL injuries and other activity-related knee conditions.
