一次嚴重的受傷，如滑雪意外或跌倒便足以令前十字韌帶斷裂 ，但大部份的前十字韌帶受傷都屬「非接觸性」：當膝部轉幅太大或轉向太快，都可能令前十字韌帶撕裂。很多女士在投球或籃球活動時，只是簡單地因為跳躍後著地不當，便導致前十字韌帶撕裂。
SUDDEN SPOPS & CHANGES IN DIRECTION, JUMPING AND LANDING
HEAR A POPPING SENSATION IN THE KNEE
The anterior cruciate ligament can be injured in several ways:
Signs and symptoms of an ACL injury usually include:
- A loud pop or a "popping" sensation in the knee
- Severe pain and inability to continue activity
- Rapid swelling
- Loss of range of motion
- A feeling of instability or "giving way" with weight bearing
Programs to reduce ACL injury include:
- Exercises to strengthen the core — including the hips, pelvis and lower abdomen — with a goal of training athletes to avoid moving the knee inward during a squat
- Exercises that strengthen leg muscles, particularly hamstring exercises, to ensure an overall balance in leg muscle strength
- Training and exercise emphasizing proper technique and knee position when jumping and landing from jumps
- Training to improve technique when performing pivoting and cutting movements
