ACL
Torn ligament, briefly
The ACL is the anterior cruciate ligament, a crucial stabilizing structure in the knee that prevents the shinbone from sliding forward.
Tearing your ACL is a dreaded sports injury requiring surgical reconstruction and months of rehabilitation: He's out for the season with a torn ACL.
In computing, an ACL is an access control list that defines user permissions for files, directories, or network resources. (Lowercase acl appears in code and technical documentation.)
