Athletes
I'm not sure that any sports genre in particular is more or less apt to this injury. I've seen it in all major and minor American sports. Edited to to reflect that it's a common injury to atheletes in general. I hope that acceptable to everyone.

The medial collateral ligament is "the most frequently injured knee ligament overall". — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.123.245.226 (talk) 01:55, 9 November 2011 (UTC)

I would like to add the following link but since it belongs to a page of mine I should use the discussion page first. So if you believe it's useful feel free to add it http://surgery-images.com/orthopedic/anterior%20cruciate%20ligament.html

Does anyone know of long term studies on the outcomes of ACL reconstruction using allograft on serious athletes?

Right or Left?
Is the diagram a left or a right knee?
 * Right. --WS 00:07, 22 December 2005 (UTC)

Anatomy

 * Arcadian ** Some of the article bit that I added was redundant to that other entry which I was not aware of, but in terms of the anatomy of the knee in relation to the cruciate ligament, it may be useful to be on this page. It discussed not just the injury but also the relationships of the cruciate ligaments in the knee with the menisci and also the collateral ligaments (however, I think I was wrong in saying that they are attached to the menisci as it looks like they are attached to the intercondylar eminence and not directly to the MM or LM.  Perhaps you, as a medical student, would want to write something about the ACL and its relationship to other parts of the knee without getting to into injury then?


 * As I mentioned in my edit summary, if you want to add a overview of the topic on this page, I have no objection to that. --Arcadian 04:11, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

Expanding current information
Hi. I would like to see this stub expanded in the following areas-
 * Different types of ACL ruptures
 * Causes
 * Possible reasons females have a higher rate of ACL rupture
 * Treatment options

If anyone would like to work on these with me or has other ideas, please let me know. Eng 314 (talk) 19:46, 20 February 2008 (UTC) I would suggest going to an outpatient therapy and working with the sports medicine therapist. When i had surgery to repaitr my ACL my doctor sent me to one and I am up to almost 100% although i ran out of money for my therapy so it really depends on you r financial sictuation. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.63.227.131 (talk) 18:53, 5 April 2011 (UTC)

Can some one talk about partial tear and blood supply
There is nothing about the anatomy, blood supply, partial tear heal. Can some one add?

Fix the article
Someone who knows what they're talking about, please fix this article, the ACL is not in the brain!!! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.28.185.0 (talk) 22:14, 1 July 2010 (UTC)

Paragraph 3
Was there some info edited out here? "Lateral rotational movements in sports like these...." There are no accompanying sports.72.205.238.27 (talk) 03:15, 18 October 2010 (UTC)

Merger proposal
Formal request has been received to merge the articles Anterior cruciate ligament injury and Anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction into Anterior cruciate ligament, dated November 2018. Proposer's Rationale: These articles are all about the same thing, but two of them are just about the injury and surgery. Pinging proposer Discuss here.

 * Strong oppose We have articles about anatomy and we have articles about diseases / conditions. We do not merge the two together. Doc James  (talk · contribs · email) 22:51, 11 December 2018 (UTC)
 * Strongly opposed Please observe Merging. There are absolutely no grounds for a merger. These are discrete subjects warranting their own articles, there is little overlap in content, each of the articles covers the respective topics extensively, if a merger occurred the single article would become clunky and hard to navigate, and any of the articles may still be further expanded. Furthermore, there is precedent on Wikipedia that body part anatomy/physiology and its pathologies are covered in separate articles. Seeing that there are numerous ailments that may affect a particular body part, merging these topics in a single article would result in ridiculously crammed articles. I'm removing the proposed merger templates. Kind regards, -J Jay Hodec (talk) 00:22, 23 December 2018 (UTC)
