The old name of anterior cruciate ligament was crucial ligament since cruciate or crossed arrangements of the anterior and posterior cruciate ligaments within the knee. The importance of the anterior cruciate ligament in the maintenance of joint integrity has been recently appreciated.

Results: In the PTB group, 53.3% of the patients had left sided ACL tear and 46.7% had right sided tear. In the STG group, 46.7% had left sided ACL tear and 53.3% had right sided ACL tear. Conclusion: The tears of the ACL present acutely or chronically and in the acute lesion the other ligaments may be clinically normal.
