The role of fibres within the tibial attachment of the ACL in resisting tibial displacements

Recent anatomical studies have reported a ‘ribbon-like’ morphology of the ACL with dense anterior and medial attachments. The purpose of this study was to clarify the load bearing function of the fibres of the tibial ACL attachment in resisting tibial anterior and rotational displacements and to blindly compare these results with an independent anatomical assessment.
