ACL stands for the anterior cruciate ligament. It is a strong band of connective tissue inside the knee joint. It helps control forward motion and rotation of the tibia (shinbone) under the femur (thighbone). The term ACL is commonly used in sports medicine, orthopedics, and physical therapy when discussing knee stability and knee injuries.
