cruciate ligament insufficiency

Cruciate ligament insufficiency refers to the functional weakness or tearing (rupture) of a cruciate ligament in the knee joint—most commonly the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL). Typical consequences include a sensation of instability, the knee giving way during twisting movements, and an increased risk of meniscus and cartilage damage.
