#shorts • We already talked about the Posterior Cruciate Ligament (PCL) and its crucial role in knee stability. (Scroll down if you haven’t seen it yet) • Today we will talk about another ligament and how it contributes to knee stability. • The Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL)👇 • It is the knee's primary anterior stabilizer and helps ensure proper alignment of the femur and tibia. • What does anterior stabilizer mean? • This ligament resists excessive anterior translation of the shin bone (tibia) relative to the thigh bone (femur). • Depending on the knee angle, it also helps to prevent excessive varus/valgus stresses and tibial rotation.[1] • ACL tear is one of the most common knee injuries; most ACL tears result from a non-contact mechanism such as a sudden change in a direction causing the knee to rotate inward.[2] • The ACL also has a proprioceptive function due to mechanoreceptors in the ligament. • It helps you sense changes in the direction of movement, the position of the knee joint, and changes in acceleration, speed, and tension.
