<p><strong>ACL Injury: Complications</strong></p>
<p>If you have an ACL injury at any time, you stand a greater risk of developing knee osteoarthritis later in life. This is primarily because ACL injury roughens the smooth surface of knee and causes cartilage to deteriorate. Although ligament surgery can reconstruct it, yet, in some cases ACL injury leads to arthritis.</p>
<p><strong>ACL Injury: Risk Factors</strong></p>
<p>Women have a very high chance of ACL tear than men. Women are at a higher risk as they have a broader pelvic. Further, thigh muscles at front or quadriceps are stronger than thigh muscles at back or hamstrings. Hence, hamstring prevents knee from bending forward and shinbone is unable to slide forward. This causes greater stress on ACL leading to ACL injury.</p>
