[1] The torn ligament can either be removed from the knee (most common), or preserved ...
The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is one of a pair of cruciate ligaments (the other being the posterior cruciate ligament) in the human knee. The two ligaments are called "cruciform" ligaments, as they are arranged in a crossed formation. In the quadruped stifle joint (analogous to the knee), based on its anatomical position, it is also ...

[1] The most common injury is a complete tear. [1] Symptoms include pain, an audible cracking sound during injury, instability of the knee, and joint swelling. [1]
