Sports medicine helps when it comes to an ACL tear, which is a common injury. Even though it happens often in sports, it is the result of a sudden stop and twisting motion, or if the front or side of the knee receives a sudden blow. In sports, it is often the result of an athlete running and coming to a quick stop, and then changing direction at the same time. Pivoting on one leg, overextending the knee joint, or a hard landing from a jump can also cause damage. Dr. Luks is one of the few doctors in New York, and perhaps the only doctor in Hudson Valley, performing the Double Bundle ACL reconstruction for instability of the knee.
