Knee ligament laxity if you have problem in your legs then it might be due to ligament laxity where your legs would become very weak due to the old ligament injury and that should be treated immediately. Wear knee cap so that you will feel firm while walking or climbing stairs.

The knees and shoulder are two of the most prominent joints in the human body. While the shoulder is known as the most flexible joint, the knee is the strongest joint. These joints are susceptible to a number of issues. Depending on the problem, it may be treated non-surgically or surgically. In some cases, delaying surgical treatment can cause more trouble in the long run. Hence, it is important to get a clear diagnosis as early as possible.

If you ve recently had acl surgery, exercises are an important part of your recovery, in addition to a physical therapy program.

These level 1 exercises should be done for 1-4 weeks after surgery. The goal of these exercises is to regain neuromuscular control of the quadriceps, strengthen the hip and maintain knee and ankle range of motion on the affected leg.
Perform these exercises 1-3 times per day, only within pain-free range of motion. Stop the activity if it causes increased p...more

I had knee injury in which my acl ligament and meniscus were teared. Acl surgery was carried out in year 2011at pgi chandigarh. Later, gradually I again felt instability in the knee. In dec, 2018 I got it checked in aiims delhi. They advised me to go for reconstruction of acl ligament. I got all my tests done and got surgery date from aiims feb, 2019 itself. It was told by the doctors at aiims that reconstruction shall be carried out in 02 stages & in two surgeries. Second surgery shall be done after 03 months of the surgery stage one. Meanwhile some one told me about Safdarjung sports injury center in Delhi. Now I am confused as to finally I should choose aiims or sports injury center, Safdarjung in new Delhi. Which shall be better as I anticipate better rehabilitation in sports injury center, Safdarjung because of less rush. Please guide.

Here are three of the best (and safest) exercises to treat an acl injury when first starting out:
• heel slides involve the extension of the knee without bearing any weight. Start by sitting on the floor with your legs outstretched. Slowly bend the injured knee while sliding your heel across the floor toward you. Slowly slide the foot back into the starting position and repeat 10 times.
• isometric contractions of the quads are also done seated. For this, you would need to sit on the flo...more

The Anterior Cruciate Ligament or ACL tear is a very common problem with athletes and with people who have an active lifestyle. In fact, this can also be caused by any accident due to sudden movement.

Importance of ACL-

The ACL is the supporting ligament, which runs diagonally from back to front right in the middle of the knee, connecting the femur bone and the tibia, and helps the tibia not to come before the femur. Thus the balance of the knee during back and forth movements...more

Both are ligament of knee
The function of the PCL is to prevent the femur from sliding off the anterior edge of the tibia and to prevent the tibia from displacing posterior to the femur. And ACL vice versa.
