ACL reconstruction is surgery to replace a torn anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), a major ligament in your knee. ACL injuries most commonly occur during sports that involve sudden stops and changes in direction — such as basketball, soccer, football, downhill skiing and gymnastics

The major goals of rehabilitation of the ACL-injured knee:

• Gain good functional stability
• Repair muscle strength
• Reach the best possible functional level
• Decrease the risk for re-injury

For patients suffering from multiple traumatic injuries, it is important to go through a process of post-treatment orthopaedic rehabilitation that includes limb exercises, balance training, Gait Training, Mobilization techniques and to help re-integrate into their normal independent lives.

Sports injuries occur during exercise or while participating in a sport. Children are particularly at risk for these types of injuries, but adults can get them, too.

You’re at risk for sports injuries if you:

• Haven’t been regularly active
• Haven’t warm up properly before exercise
• Play contact sports

Types of sports injuries

Different sports injuries produce different symptoms and complications. The most common types of sports injuries include:

• Sprains- Overstretching or tearing the ligaments results in a sprain. Ligaments are pieces of tissue that connect two bones to one another in a joint.
• Strains- Overstretching or tearing muscles or tendons results in a sprain. Tendons are thick, fibrous cords of tissue that connect bone to muscle. Strains are commonly mistaken for sprains. Here’s how tell them apart.
• Knee injuries- Any injury that interferes with how the knee joint moves could be a sports injury. It could range from an overstretch to a tear in the muscles or tissues in the knee.
• Swollen muscles- Swelling is a natural reaction to an injury. Swollen muscles may also be painful and weak.
• Achilles tendon rupture- The Achilles tendon is a thin, powerful tendon at the back of your ankle. During sports, this tendon can break or rupture. When it does, you may experience sudden, severe pain and difficulty walking.
• Rotator cuff injury- Four pieces of muscle work together to form the rotator cuff. The rotator cuff keeps your shoulder moving in all directions. A tear in any of these muscles can weaken the rotator cuff.
