What Causes ACL Injuries?

The ACL provides stability and flexibility to the knee joint. ACL injuries are a common type of knee injury that range in severity from minor to severe, depending upon whether the ligament is partially or completely torn.  Injuries to the ACL are typically not caused by contact, such as tackles or falls. Instead, they occur during activities that require twisting or changing direction very quickly. Take a look at the video below to learn more about the most common causes of ACL injuries.
