Cruciate Ligament
The stability of the knee joint is provided by the cruciate ligament and must be functioning in every bending or extending position, in every turning position, when standing, squatting, running and jumping. If the cruciate ligament is torn, the knee becomes unstable and there is an unsteady feeling in the knee.
All proven techniques to restore knee stability are offered at Klinik Sanssouci.
