In addition, injuries can be caused by patients exercising without a proper warm-up or straining their muscles and bodies too forcefully during exercise. Of the sports-related injuries they witness, the surgeons say ACL tears make up a large majority.
, a board-certified orthopaedic surgeon at All-Star Orthopaedics, notes that an estimated 250,000 ACL injuries occur each year. Around 20,000 of these cases are high school students, he says, adding that high school females are 3 times more likely to injure their ACLs as their male counterparts. Furthermore, Dr. Hunt says 70% of all ACL injuries are non-contact and result from sudden deceleration such as landing from a jump or a cut and pivot motion.

He cites that one study showed the completion of a neuromuscular training program reduced the risk of noncontact ACL injuries by 70% in female athletes.
