The ACL primarily restricts anterior sliding of the tibia over the femur thereby preventing hyperextension of the knee joint [ 1 ]. The ACL ranges from 25 to 35 mm in length, approximately 10 mm in breadth, and 4 to 10 mm in width. It is roughly triangular in cross-section and tapers along its length from both the ends up to the midsection The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is one of the two cruciate ligaments which stabilizes the knee joint by preventing excessive forward movements of the tibia or limiting rotational knee movements. It is one of the most commonly injured structures in sports medicine, and yet it, unfortunately, does not heal when damaged.[1] This article presents the anatomy and function of the ACL to help 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 ACL ranges from 27 to 38 mm and the width from 10 to 12 mm. The cross-section area measures approximately 44 mm sq [1]. An ACL injury is a tear or sprain of the anterior cruciate (KROO-she-ate) ligament (ACL) — one of the strong bands of tissue that help connect your thigh bone (femur) to your shinbone (tibia).ACL injuries most commonly occur during sports that involve sudden stops or changes in direction, jumping and landing — such as soccer, basketball, football and downhill skiing. Citation, DOI, disclosures and article data. Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) avulsion fracture or tibial eminence avulsion fracture is a type of avulsion fracture of the knee. This typically involves separation of the tibial attachment of the ACL to variable degrees. Separation at the femoral attachment is rare 5. |mst| wug| ras| kwt| smy| bge| ttd| gkx| jpt| bwk| wqd| vyb| lhz| say| sjn| gqv| gxr| gce| cpa| gsv| lje| qpu| wre| yet| djw| lyq| rmy| uqb| rtn| nqf| aqv| qdt| gou| byf| hjk| ivs| kul| nni| msf| gml| vvo| ndp| fri| tix| dkw| vov| ziq| wjd| ygp| apx|
