Lacrosse is similar to hockey, where each team aims to have the highest
number of goals. Due to this, it involves plenty of repetitive motions
and strenuous movements, of which the athletes’ knees bear the most
brunt. Thus, one of the most common lacrosse-related injuries is the
anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tear, which may require treatment from
Denver orthopedic surgeons.
To understand the severity of this
injury—referred to as a “life-altering injury” by a former physician of
the U.S. lacrosse team—players must first understand the knee anatomy.
ACL is a major ligament of the knee which is primarily responsible for
stabilizing the knee after walking, bending, or climbing. However, in
lacrosse, where there are a great deal of turning and planting motions,
the ACL becomes highly vulnerable.
