Paper 114: Anatomical and Histological Study of the Anterior Cruciate Ligament: Is There an Intermediate Bundle?

Year: 2012

Type: article

Abstract: The anatomy of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is divided in two functional bundles, anteromedial (AM) and posterolateral (PL) bundles. However, there is a controversy about the number of anatomic bundles that constitute the ACL. This subject is controversy in the literature. We can find studies where the ACL is made by only one bundle, or by two bundles, and even three bundles. The third bundle described is the intermediate bundle (IM).
