The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is one of a pair of cruciate ligaments (the other being the posterior cruciate ligament) in the human knee. They are also called cruciform ligaments as they are arranged in a crossed formation.
Surgery for anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries involves reconstructing or repairing the ACL. 1  ACL reconstruction surgery uses a graft to replace the ligament. 2  Repair surgery typically is used only in the case of an avulsion fracture (a separation of the ligament and a piece of the bone from the rest of the bone).
