Abstract
It is important to realise that the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is a living structure which at the present time cannot be truly replaced. It has a purpose built, unique anatomical structure with a blood supply and nerve supply including proprioception and no substitute currently available can fulfill all of these functions.
