Illustration of a tear of the anterior cruciate ligament in an lateral front view. A tear of the anterior cruciate ligament is a common knee injury that results from twisting the knee joint. Such injuries are often caused by sudden twisting or jerking movements, such as during sports activities. Note: The patella has been removed in the illustration and the femur to tibia/fibula distance has been increased for better visibility of the structures.
