Meniscal root is important secondary stabilizer of the knee (May 2015)
The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is a ligament in the central part of the knee that stabilizes the knee during cutting and pivoting activities, such as changes in direction and landing from jumps, and other agility movements.
ACL tears are one of the most common sports injuries requiring surgery, and ACL reconstruction surgery is recommended for those who want to get back to sports activities.
