Tissue engineering has achieved much progress in an attempt to improve and recover impaired functions of tissues and organs. Although many studies have been done, progress for tissue-engineered anterior cruciate ligaments (ACLs) has been slow due to their complex structures and mechanical properties. In this review, the ACL anatomical structure, progresses achieved, material selection, structure design, and future direction have been discussed, while the challenges and requirements from materials and scaffolds are highlighted. There is a considerably huge amount work that needs to be carried out; as such, future direction in ligament tissue engineering is proposed in hope that this review will give information on future ligament tissue engineering.
