WHAT IS A CRUCIATE LIGAMENT?

There are four main ligaments in the knee - one on either side and two across the middle.

 

 

Medial collateral ligament (MCL)

Lateral collateral ligament (LCL)

Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL)

Posterior cruciate ligament (PCL)

The ACL is behind the kneecap (patella) and is in front of the PCL.

 

It's the second strongest ligament in the knee and stabilises the joint, connecting the thigh bone (femur) and the leg bone (tibia).

 

The ACL and PCL limit the over straightening, over bending and rotation of the knee.

 

The average length of the ACL is around 35mm, weighing around 20g.

 

The medial ligament is one the inside of the knee, with the lateral on the outside.

 

Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL)

Posterior cruciate ligament (PCL)

these are the two that are usually torn by a sports man , which could take months to heel , but sometimes this injury can end a players carrea . Hope this helps Annie bit technical i know and abit boaring . Up the Gate.

Knee injuries suck

[Andy .]

John Keister done his knee for us a few seasons ago and was never the same after , he had the quality still but lost some of his pace , couldn`t turn so quick , its amazing how an injury can ruin what you had . Up the Gate .

[Diz]

I'm well into rehab after a lengthy lay-off, had a couple of cricket training sessions and it still doesn't feel quite natural making sudden movements to my left.

God knows what i'd be like at having a kick around now, not important though really as I wasn't that good to begin with

[I am Spartacus]

By all accounts coming from Upminister you are still not very good Diz even at Cricket.
