heres an artical i found atm wikipedia



In sports that place amazing stress on the knees, especially with twisting forces, it's common to tear one or more ligaments or cartilages. The anterior cruciate ligament is often torn as a result of a quick direction alteration while running or as a result of some other type of violent twisting motion. It can also be torn by being extended forcefully beyond its common range, or as a result of being forced sideways. In such cases, other structures will incur undermine as well. Especially debilitating is the unfortunately average "unhappy triad" of torn medial collateral and anterior cruciate ligaments and a torn medial meniscus. This typically arises from a combination of inwards forcing and twisting.



Before the advent of arthroscopy and arthroscopic surgery, patients having surgery for a torn ACL needed at least nine months of rehabilitation. With current techniques, such patients may be walking without crutches in two weeks, and playing some sports in but a few months. In Australian rules football, knee injuries are among the the bulk common, with a amazing deal of controversy caused in ruck contests, where the crashing of two knees during the leap has caused injuries to numerous players. This forced new rule modifications in the AFL for the 2005 season.



In addition to developing new surgical procedures, ongoing research is looking into underlying troubles which may increase the possibility of an athlete suffering a severe knee injury. These findings may lead to effective preventive measures. Techniques to minimize the risk of an ACL injury while skiing are published by Vermont Safety Research
