The knee joint is the area that connects the femur and tibia with the patella acting as a covering for the joint. The ACL has two main purposes. They are to prevent the tibia from coming forward and the second is to provide knee joint stability. Injures to the ACL happen in either through contact or noncontact. Contact is…

The skeletal system is made up of mostly bone, but also tendons, ligaments and cartilage, which are arranged into a solid structure that supports and protects the body. We will look at the skeletal system in more detail covering, the functions, bone structure, bone classification, joint classification and diseases that affect the skeletal system. The skeletal system has…

participants who have a 10-year-old deficiency, the prevalence of articular lesions increases by up to 70 percent. ACL tears are best reconstructed from a substitute graft made out of tendon (ref). The grafts commonly used to replace the ACL include the patella tendon auto-graft originating from the participant, recommended for high-demand athletes, which is considered the “gold standard” for reconstruction (ref). Another auto graft method used with reconstruction is the Hamstring tendon, which…
