where is your acl located

The ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) is located inside your knee joint, right in the center of the knee.

Where your ACL sits

• The ACL runs diagonally through the middle of the knee, connecting your thigh bone (femur) to your shin bone (tibia).

• It is closer to the front of the knee than its partner ligament, the posterior cruciate ligament (PCL), and together they form an “X” shape inside the joint.

• Functionally, it helps stop your shin bone from sliding forward in front of your thigh bone and gives the knee front‑to‑back stability.
