A torn ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) refers to a tear in the ligament, which connects the back outside of the femur to the front inside of the tibia. This ligament is commonly injured during athletics. Symptoms of a torn ACL usually include a popping noise at the time the knee is injured, swelling, and often the knee does stable. The ACL is not self-healing, therefore must be repaired surgically with tissue graft to replace the torn ligament. Treatment is necessary due to the fact that continued athletic activity on a torn ACL will most likely lead to significant cartilage damage. Consequently, the cartilage damage may lead to osteoarthritis in the future. Statistics suggest that female athletes have far more torn ACL injuries than their male counterparts. Can you win social security disability or SSI disability benefits on the basis of a torn ACL?
