Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) Ruptures are usually caused by contact and non-contact injuries sustained while playing sports. Many ACL injuries are caused by a sudden blow or impact to the side of the knee, such as a football tackle. The ACL can also rupture by suddenly coming to a quick stop, a quick change in direction, overextending the knee joint or landing after jumping, so you can understand why Anterior Cruciate Ligament Rupture is common in sports like football. Typically in skiing it is caused by an uncontrolled or unexpected movement while skiing off piste or by skiing on moguls or ice.
