Ligaments are connective tissues made up of collagen fibrous bands that help stabilize joints and decrease excess motion. The medial collateral (MCL), lateral collateral (LCL), anterior cruciate (ACL), and posterior cruciate (PCL) ligaments are the four main ligaments in the knee. Each of these serves a specific purpose in the knee’s stability. Injury to a ligament can severely hamper the function and stability of the knee.

Individuals with an ACL Insufficiency may be more likely to experience meniscus and cartilage damage after the original ACL injury, mainly when the individual participates in sports or other activities that involve strenuous movements on the knee joint.
