Why can avascular necrosis of the femoral head occur?
Interruption to blood supply due to fractured neck of femur
Leaves only branch from obturator artery (through ligamentum teres), as lateral and medial circumflex (femoral branches) and nutrient artery move proximally

What does ACL do and how is it injured?
Prevents anterior movement of the tibia on the femur
Hyperextension or medial rotation of femoral condyles on the tibial plateau
May be contact causing hyperextension or valgus stress on the knee or non contact, classically sudden deceleration and pivoting movement whilst running (causing valgus stress)
