The ACL originates from the lateral femoral condyle and inserts on the anterior tibial spine. It has two bundles and acts as the primary restraint to anterior tibial displacement when the knee is flexed at 90 degrees. ACL injuries most often occur during pivoting sports and can be accompanied by meniscal or other ligament injuries. Physical exam findings of an ACL injury include effusion, decreased range of motion, and a positive Lachman or pivot shift test. Treatment options include rehabilitation for partial tears or surgery involving reconstruction for full tears to restore stability.
