ACL Remnant Fibres

fibrae residuales ligamenti cruciati anterioris

ACL remnant fibres are the surviving native ACL tissue after partial or complete rupture — the anteromedial or posterolateral bundle remnants remaining attached to the tibia or femur.

Region: Knee
Biomechanics

Function & Actions

Preserve mechanoreceptor function, maintain biological tissue for graft ligamentisation, and serve as a scaffold for reconstruction.

Clinical Relevance

Clinical Notes

Remnant-preserving ACL reconstruction passes the graft through or alongside remnant fibres, improving proprioception and graft maturation.

Common Injuries & Conditions

Remnant-Preserving ACL Reconstruction

Graft placed through or alongside ACL remnant fibres to preserve mechanoreceptors and enhance biological healing.
