Dr Aashish Arbat is recognised as one of leading and best orthopaedic surgeon for ACL and MCL Repair and surgery Specialist in Pune, Maharashtra and all over the India. ACL and MCL are both knee ligaments that provide stability to the joint. The ACL (Anterior Cruciate Ligament) is located in the middle of the knee, connecting the femur and tibia, and helps prevent the shinbone from sliding forward. The MCL (Medial Collateral Ligament) runs along the inner side of the knee, connecting the thighbone and shinbone, and helps prevent the femur from sliding from side to side. >>Here's a more detailed breakdown: •ACL (Anterior Cruciate Ligament): It's an internal ligament that connects the femur (thighbone) to the tibia (shinbone) inside the knee joint. The ACL helps prevent the tibia from moving too far forward or backward, and it also plays a role in knee rotation and stability. •MCL (Medial Collateral Ligament): This ligament runs on the inner side of the knee, connecting the femur and tibia. The MCL helps prevent the knee from bending too far inward (valgus stress) and provides stability against lateral forces. >>Key Differences: •Location: ACL is in the middle of the knee, while MCL is on the inner side. •Function: ACL primarily prevents forward and backward movement, while MCL primarily prevents inward movement and lateral instability. •Recovery: MCL injuries often heal without surgery, while ACL tears typically require surgery.
