ACL: Anterior Cruciate Ligament
PCL: Posterior Cruciate Ligament
Place: at Knee
ACL and PCL are the two main ligaments that prevent the femur from moving forward and backward in the knee joint and on the tibia, and as a result, joint health is maintained and the meniscus is not damaged. If the ACL is torn or stretched, there is a possibility that the femur will move forward, resulting in a meniscus tear. The initial symptoms of pain and in the next stage the feeling of emptying the knee are felt by the injured person.
This ligament is commonly injured in sports. If coaches and athletes do resistance exercise with standard methods, the amount of damage to this ligament will also decrease.
The description of the ligament is given below.
