A cruciate ligament of each knee that attaches the front of the tibia with the back of the femur and functions especially to prevent hyperextension of the knee and is subject to injury especially by tearing ¯ called also ACL
Intra-articular ligament of the knee, attaching on the anterior portion of the tibial plateau extending upwards and posteriorly to the medial aspect of the lateral femoral condyle Very frequently injured during twisting type sports (e g Australian Rules football, soccer), or those that involve rapid deceleration (e g netball) Extrinsic trauma also has a large part to play in ACL injuries
The ligament inside the knee, which keeps the lower large leg bone (tibia) from sliding forward under the upper leg bone (femur) This is the second most frequently injured knee ligament and is considered very traumatic A quick stop (hyperextension), a foot plant and twist, or a blow to the knee is usually the cause of an ACL injury
