Patients with knee injuries usually experience severe and weakening pain. The knee is a fairly unstable joint that is responsible for supporting the full weight of the body and even more so when walking, running, cutting, and so on. The joint of the knee is a complex structure with bones, muscles, tendons, ligaments, nerves, and blood vessels. Because of its dynamic nature, the knee is a commonly injured joint. Within recent years, the increase in ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) injuries has been remarkable. Trauma to this ligament within the knee can be serious, and injuries to it usually occur during athletic activity.
