What tendon is used to reconstruct anterior cruciate?

The most common tendon used for anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction is the patellar tendon, which is harvested from the patellar bone and tibial tubercle. Other options include the hamstring tendons (semimembranosus, semitendinosus) or quadriceps tendon. The choice of tendon graft depends on various factors like patient's age, activity level, and surgeon's preference.

What is the name ligament of the knee?

There are many ligaments that are in the ankle, but the most common and the strongest is the deltoid. There are also three lateral ligaments. Anterior Talofibular (which is the ligament that runs in the front) this where sprained ankles frequently occur. Posterior Talofibular (which is the ligament that runs in the back). Calcaneofibular is attached to the lateral malleolus. Hope this helped! :)


Distinguish between tendons and ligament?

Tendons are tough cords of fibrous tissue that attach muscles to bones, facilitating movement and providing stability. Ligaments are also fibrous tissue, but they connect bones to other bones at joints, helping to support and stabilize the joints during movement. In summary, tendons connect muscles to bones, while ligaments connect bones to other bones.
