Both female athletes and physically active persons are susceptible to anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) rupture, a common sports-related injury. The ACL is structurally complex and is considered to be an important proprioceptor, as well as limiting tibial translation. The standard test for ACL tears is magnetic resonance imaging (MRI); however, there is currently no suitable method to accurately determine the severity of the injury. Numerous factors, including gender, muscle strength, and exercise habits, are linked to the causes of ACL tears. ACL tears prevent athletes from playing sports in the near future. They could eventually develop psychological problems, chronic knee disease, and blocked nerve signals, all of which would lower their post-ACL repair return numbers and performance. Reconstruction and recovery are the two stages of ACL treatment, and the therapy plan should be tailored to each patient's unique needs. Athletes' leg muscles should be strengthened as the primary means of preventing ACL injuries, but venues and coaches should also be taken into account.
