Abstract

Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tears are common injuries. Despite the diagnosis being in essence a clinical one, this has often proved unreliable. The objective of this study was to ascertain the delay to diagnosis of ACL injury from initial presentation and subsequent delay to review by a knee specialist.
