   The ACL is the smallest of the four main ligaments of the knee and is the primary stabilizer. ACL stands for the Anterior Cruciate Ligament. The others are the posterior cruciate ligament and the lateral and medial collateral ligaments.
   
   You could live without it, but if you want to participate in sports, or want to have a full life without the constant worry that you might hurt your knee even more, so if yours is damaged, you might want to consider getting it fixed. They have some amazing arthroscopic surgeries today that make recovery and prognosis much better than it used to be years ago.
