Introduction The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL ) is a band of dense connective tissue which courses from the femur to the tibia. It consists of type I (90%) and type III collagen. [1] The length of the ACL ranges from 27 to 38 mm and the width from 10 to 12 mm. The midsubstance cross-section area measures approximately 44 mm². [1] It represents an hourglass or bowtie shape.
