[edit] Athletes

I'm not sure that any sports genre in particular is more or less apt to this injury. I've seen it in all major and minor American sports. Edited to to reflect that it's a common injury to atheletes in general. I hope that acceptable to everyone.

[edit] Anatomy

• • Arcadian ** Some of the article bit that I added was redundant to that other entry which I was not aware of, but in terms of the anatomy of the knee in relation to the cruciate ligament, it may be useful to be on this page. It discussed not just the injury but also the relationships of the cruciate ligaments in the knee with the menisci and also the collateral ligaments (however, I think I was wrong in saying that they are attached to the menisci as it looks like they are attached to the intercondylar eminence and not directly to the MM or LM. Perhaps you, as a medical student, would want to write something about the ACL and its relationship to other parts of the knee without getting to into injury then?

As I mentioned in my edit summary, if you want to add a overview of the topic on this page, I have no objection to that. --Arcadian 04:11, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
