, Physiological and Psychological Responses to Injury
Injuries to the ACL are relatively common knee injuries among athletes. They occur most frequently
in those who play sports involving pivoting (e.g. football, basketball, netball, soccer, European team
handball, gymnastics, downhill skiing). They can range from mild (such as small tears/sprain) to
severe (when the ligament is completely torn). Both contact and non-contact injuries can occur,
although non-contact tears and ruptures are most common.
Three major types of ACL injuries are described:
Direct Contact: 30% of the cases.
Non-Contact: 70% of the cases: by doing a wrong movement.
Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries are common in young individuals who participate in sports
activities associated with pivoting, decelerating and jumping.
Most common are the non-contact injuries caused by forces generated within the athlete’s body.
While most other sport injuries involve a transfer of energy from an external source. Approximately
75% of ruptures are sustained with minimal or no contact at the time of injury. A cut-and-plant
movement is the typical mechanism that causes the ACL to tear, being a sudden change in direction
or speed with the foot firmly planted. Rapid deceleration moments, including those that also involve
planting the affected leg to cut and change direction, have also been linked to ACL injuries, as well as
landing from a jump, pivoting, twisting, and direct impact to the front of the tibia.
Grades of Injury
An ACL injury is classified as a grade I, II, or III sprain.
Grade I Sprain
The fibres of the ligament are stretched, but there is no tear.
There is a little tenderness and swelling.
The knee does not feel unstable or give out during activity.
No increased laxity and there is a firm end feel.
Grade II Sprain
The fibres of the ligament are partially torn or incomplete tear with haemorrhage.
There is a little tenderness and moderate swelling with some loss of function.
The joint may feel unstable or give out during activity.
