No. The ACL, Anterior Cruciate Ligament, is located in the knee. It helps maintain stability in the knee. The A/C (acromio-clavicular) joint, on the other hand, is one which connects the shoulder to the rest of the body.

What is worse acl tear or mcl tear?

An ACL tear is typically considered worse than an MCL tear because the ACL is a crucial ligament for knee stability. An ACL tear often requires surgery to repair and has a longer recovery time compared to an MCL tear, which may heal with conservative treatments like rest and physical therapy.


What two bones are involved in a patella tendon harvest for an ACL reconstruction?

The patella tendon harvest for an ACL reconstruction involves the patella (kneecap) and the tibia (shin bone). The central portion of the patella tendon, which connects the patella to the tibia, is typically harvested for use in ACL reconstruction surgery.


Which part of the body would an ACL tear occur?

An ACL tear typically occurs in the knee joint. It is a common injury, often seen in sports that involve sudden stops or changes in direction. The ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) helps stabilize the knee, and injury to this ligament can lead to instability and difficulty with activities that require pivoting or cutting movements.


Is an ACL tear painful?

Yes... It is very painful! When I tore my ACL it was an unbearable pain, and it felt like it was burning really bad. If you tore yours then the best of luck to you!


What structure in the knee prevents hyperextension?

The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is the primary structure in the knee that prevents hyperextension. It runs diagonally in the middle of the knee and helps stabilize the joint during activities that require sudden stops or changes in direction. Injury to the ACL can result in instability and an increased risk of hyperextension.
