There are two cruciate ligaments.
The posterior cruciate ligament is responsible for the knee being able to lock into position when fully extended. It prevents forces pushing the tibia posterior to the femur.
The anterior cruciate ligament prevents movement in the opposite direction, i.e. gives a limit to how much we can flex our knee. It is most commonly injured.

The answer truly depends on the severity of the ulnar entrapment and the location of the ulnar nerve entrapment. Milder ulnar nerve entrapments can sometimes be relieved with physical therapy and bracing the arm in a position that lessens pressure on the ulnar nerve. Moderate entrapments of the ulnar nerve may respond to physical therapy combined with a steroid injection to relieve inflammation. More severe entrapments may require surgical interventions. The most common location for an ulnar nerve entrapment is at the elbow, this is called an ulnar neuropathy at the elbow (UNE). When this is severe the surgical procedure that is utilized is referred to as a surgical transposition of the ulnar nerve & involves moving the ulnar nerve from the back of the elbow to the front of the elbow. Speak with a neuromuscular specialist regarding your case if you feel that you have an ulnar entrapment, and always keep in mind that you may want to get a second opinion. Be prepared for the possibility of an electrodiagnostic examination.
