The standard recovery method is a form of treatment called ACL reconstruction. It uses a patellar tendon or hamstring graft to reconstruct the ligament.
The abbreviation for the anterior cruciate ligament is ACL.

Everyone can. It is a ligament in your knee
The ligament in the knee that runs diagonally from the femur to the tibia is called the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL). It helps stabilize the knee joint and prevent excessive forward movement of the tibia relative to the femur.

The most common tendon used for anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction is the patellar tendon, which is harvested from the patellar bone and tibial tubercle. Other options include the hamstring tendons (semimembranosus, semitendinosus) or quadriceps tendon. The choice of tendon graft depends on various factors like patient's age, activity level, and surgeon's preference.
ACL, PCL, lateral collateral ligament, medial collateral ligament
The name of the ligament is the "anterior cruciate ligament (ACL)".
The patella tendon harvest for an ACL reconstruction involves the patella (kneecap) and the tibia (shin bone). The central portion of the patella tendon, which connects the patella to the tibia, is typically harvested for use in ACL reconstruction surgery.
