Ever wondered how your knee maintains balance during movement? It relies heavily on two primary interior ligaments: the Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) and the Posterior Cruciate Ligament (PCL).
• ACL controls forward movement.
• PCL controls backward movement.
Because their functions differ, the mechanism of injury and treatment approach for each ligament varies significantly. Persistent pain or a feeling of joint instability is your body’s warning sign.
Consult an orthopedic specialist for an accurate assessment and targeted care.
