Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury is
one of the most severe injuries for athletes. It is important to
identify risk factors because a better understanding of injury
causation can help inform athletes about risk and increase their
understanding of and motivation for injury prevention.
In conclusion, the anatomic factors that we
investigated had a weak or no association with risk for an index
noncontact ACL injury. Increased static knee valgus was associated
with an increased risk for noncontact ACL injury, in particular for
secondary injury. Furthermore, hyperextension of the knee was a
risk factor for secondary ACL injury.
