For your knee to function properly, it depends on many structures that will provide stability. Among tendons, ligaments, the same form of the bones, the menisci, there are some structures that are called crossed ligaments, one anterior and one posterior, that is to say one that goes in front and one that goes behind. The anterior cruciate ligament is one of the most important structures is that it gives more stability to the knee. It provides almost 80-85% of stability as a primary stabilizer. What the anterior cruciate helps is so that the tibia does not go towards front and does not rotate of more, for putting it this way. A rupture of this ligament is going to cause instability in your knee, which is going to hurt the meniscus and cartilage and cause early wear and tear. Although some people can do a conservative treatment depending on the injury, the great majority needs a reconstruction because it is necessary to return that function, that ligament so that that knee continues being stable and to prevent the early wear and tear.
