The L in ACL (8)

I believe the answer is:

ligament

(Other definitions for ligament that I've seen before include "Tissue joining bones or cartilages" , "Fibrous connective tissue" , "Tough band in joint" , "it's the physical bond" , "Joint connector" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
