Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) And Posterior Cruciate Ligament (PCL)

The ACL is one of the most commonly injured and commonly known knee ligaments. Along with its partner, the PCL, these two ligaments connect the thigh bone (femur) with the bones of the lower leg. The ACL and PCL help support front-to-back movement of the knee.

Medial Collateral Ligament (MCL) And Lateral Collateral Ligament (LCL)

Acting much like the ACL and PCL, but supporting side-to-side movement of the knee instead of front-to-back, the MCL and LCL also are in place to connect the femur to the bones of the lower leg. The MCL connects the femur to the shin bone (tibia), while the LCL connects the femur to the smaller bone of the lower leg (fibula).

Injuries to all of the knee ligaments can be caused by:

  • Over-twisting the knee while the foot is planted
  • Taking a direct hit to the knee
  • Overextending the knee
  • Jumping and landing on a knee that is flexed
  • Stopping suddenly
  • Suddenly shifting your weight from one leg to the other
