An ACL injury is a tear or sprain of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) — one of the strong bands of tissue that help connect your thigh bone (femur) to your shinbone (tibia). ACL injuries most commonly occur during sports that involve sudden stops or changes in direction, jumping and landing — such as soccer, basketball, football and downhill skiing. With their expertise in modern ACL surgical methods, board-certified Brian Mehling, MD and Pavel Yufit, MD of Mehling Orthopedics, can help restore your full knee function in Hackensack, New Jersey, as well as West Islip, New York.
