The anterior and posterior cruciate ligaments provide stability in the knee and prevent forward backward movement (translation) in the knee joint. With a anterior cruciate ligament rupture, the lower leg can move forward relative to the upper leg. In this way there is slack on the knee joint. In the event of an injury to the anterior cruciate ligament, the knee becomes unstable and external forces are no longer properly absorbed.
An anterior cruciate ligament rupture often arises from acute (sports) trauma. This includes injuries that occur in basketball , football , volleyball , rugby , skiing or simply after a fall by bicycle. The lower leg may slide too far forward relative to the upper leg or make a twisting motion that causes the knee strap to stretch and tear.
