The anterior cruciate ligament originates from the distal
femur. The proximal fibers come along the medial wall of the femoral condyle.
ACL bears two bundles as follows:
- The anteromedial ACL
- The posterolateral ACL
Both bundles are named according to their point of insertion
into the tibial plateau. This region is a crucial weight-bearing region present
on the extremity of the tibia. This ligament attaches to the intercondyloid
eminence. At this place, the ligament blends with the anterior horn of the medial
meniscus.
