PHAcl reconstruction
Also known as the anterior cruciate ligament. It is one of the four major ligaments in the human knee.
Its primarily role is to provide stability to the knee joint, particularly in controlling forward movement and rotation of the tibia (shin bone) in relation to the femur.
The acl helps prevent exercise forward movement of the tibia and internal rotation of the knee.
It plays a crucial role in maintaining the integrity and stability of the knee during activities such as running, jumping, pivoting and sudden changes in direction.
Injuries to the ACL are relatively common , especially in sports that involve rapid changes in direction or high impact movements.
When the acl is torn , it can lead to instability in the knee joint , affecting a person ability to engage in certain physical activities.
The semitendinosus, gracilis and sartorius, have a common insertion into the anterior - medial aspect of the tibia.
These muscles act as flexors of the knee but also provide tibial rotation and act as rotatory and valgus constraints to the knee.
