<Tr> <Th> FMA </Th> <Td> 44614 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td_colspan="2"> Anatomical terminology (edit on Wikidata) </Td> </Tr> <P> 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 also 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 referred to as the cranial cruciate ligament . The anterior cruciate ligament is one of the four main ligaments of the knee, providing 85% of the restraining force to anterior tibial displacement at 30 degrees and 90 degrees of knee flexion . </P> <P> The ACL originates from deep within the notch of the distal femur . Its proximal fibers fan out along the medial wall of the lateral femoral condyle . There are two bundles of the ACL: the anteromedial and the posterolateral, named according to where the bundles insert into the tibial plateau . (The tibia plateau is a critical weight - bearing region on the upper extremity of the tibia). The ACL attaches in front of the intercondyloid eminence of the tibia, where it blends with the anterior horn of the lateral meniscus . </P>
