This video has an excellent animation on the ACL's function, and how it tears:
This video of a wrestler tearing his ACL is just plain disgusting to hear. So why can't I stop watching it?

- I'm in my mid 40's entering middle age. I began studying National Karate in August of 2007, based on the Joon Rhee system of Tae Kwon Do. I was laid low by torn ACL's in December of 2007, November of 2008, and a re-tear in December of 2009. This is a journal of my journey from defeat in injury to victory over reconstruction, and on to earning my 1st Degree Black Belt.

Stick to this video and trust me when I tell you to NOT watch this guys surgery video. I tried before surgery and almost passed out. Since coming home, I did watch it because I wanted to know what happened. It's way better when it's behind you, which is where you'll be very soon.
Best of luck to you this week. I'll be saying a prayer that everything goes well and that your first few days are managed well.
I'm thinking about you today. I feel like I'm reliving my surgery day waiting to hear from you. Hope all went well. You should be finished by now and heading home soon I hope.
