Abstract
The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is a dynamic structure composed of distinct bundles that function synergistically to facilitate normal knee kinematics in concert with bony morphology. Characterized by individual uniqueness, the ACL is inherently subject to both anatomic and morphological variations as well as physiologic aging. No locus on the lateral wall of the intercondylar notch is truly isometric through full range of motion, suggesting the ACL is a dynamic structure. Future studies should explore dynamic ACL behavior in vivo.
