70% of ACL tears are non-contact injuries

Women are 7-9x more likely to tear their ACL than men

ACL tears happen when the shin (tibia) is pulled away from femur (anterior tibial translation)

The hamstrings are responsible for pulling the shin back towards the femur (posterior tibial translation) so train them harder

Tears commonly happen with a low degree of knee flexion as well as movement from at least one other plane. Think cutting, pivoting, landing, jumping, so train the glutes/glute meds, and hip stabilizers

ACL injuries are largely preventable but continue to plague athletes, especially female athletes. There’s a lot to it but this is the bulk of actionable steps to reduce your risk
