What is the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL)?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n
\n

THE\u00a0anterior cruciate ligament (ACL)<\/strong>\u00a0It is one of the pillars of knee stability. Located in the center of the joint, it connects the femur to the tibia and limits the forward sliding of the tibia relative to the femur. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Together with the posterior cruciate ligament (PCL), it forms a cross in the middle of the knee, which gives them their name of cruciate ligaments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ACL plays a vital role during pivoting movements, changes of direction, or sudden stops. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the event of a breakup, stability is compromised, sometimes making it impossible to continue sporting or professional activities.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
