One of the most feared injuries for those who practice football, rugby, volleyball and in general all sports where the knees are stressed is the rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament of the knee .
Like any ligament in the human body, the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is a band of connective tissue that connects two bones: in fact, the femur and the tibia.
Its integrity is of fundamental importance, since it guarantees the stability of the knee joint to perform a jump, a change of direction, a run, etc.
Unlike other knee ligaments (for example, collateral ligaments), the anterior cruciate ligament is poorly vascularized and this prevents self-repair.
