Knee Injuries Common in Soccer Players

Anterior Cruciate Lligament (ACL) and posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) injuries
Medial Collateral Ligament (MCL) and lateral collateral ligament (LCL) injuries

Cruciate ligament injuries don't always cause pain, but typically cause a loud "pop." Most of these injuries are confirmed with an MRI. Arthroscopic surgery is sometimes the best way to find a partial tear.

Torn Knee Cartilage (Meniscus Injuries)
