Abstract
Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is one of the major ligaments in human knee. ACL can be injured from mild to severe and once it ruptured it doesn’t heal itself because of its complex structure. Many studies have been done for the reconstruction of ACL according to their structures and mechanical properties but none has fulfilled all the requirements. In this review structure of ligament, ligament injuries, synthetic ligaments, design requirements everything has been discussed.
