An ACL injury or tear is a condition caused by damage to the anterior cruciate ligament in the knee during sports or vehicular accidents and causes pain, swelling and instability. Introduction The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL ) is a band of dense connective tissue which courses from the femur to the tibia. It consists of type I (90%) and type III collagen. [1] The length of the ACL ranges from 27 to 38 mm and the width from 10 to 12 mm. The midsubstance cross-section area measures approximately 44 mm². [1] It represents an hourglass or bowtie shape. The ACL is a key structure in the knee joint, as it resists anterior tibial translation and internal rotational loads ... The anterior cruciate ligament ( ACL ), is the weaker of two cruciate ligaments of the knee, the other being the posterior cruciate ligament. These intracapsular ligaments are so named due to the fact that they cross each other, creating an imaginary cross (the word cruciate comes from the latin word crux that means cross). The anterior cruciate ligament originates from the anterior intercondylar area of the tibia, close to the attachment of the medial meniscus. From here, it extends ...
