    Alisha says: The ACL is one of the main stabilizing ligaments in the knee and it is a ligament that connects the thigh bone to the leg bone. It controls the abnormal motion of the thigh bone and the upper end of the leg bone. ACL injuries typically occurs during the athletics where jumping, pivoting and the rapid change of direction occurs. Football, basketball, lacrosse, soccer and skiing are some sports known to have high ACL injury rates. http://www.biblehealth.com/latest-news/acl-injuries-risk-more-among-girl...
