Reply to comment by AquaDoctor in Do ligaments (ACL) build up to an injury or just suddenly fail? by Toast1185

Dynamic knee valgus occurs AFTER the ACL is already ruptured.

Zhang et al (2019) Sports Med, 49(3)

Powerlifters have been shown to have thicker ACLs than the general pop

pivot/valgus load to the knee is the old way of thinking about ACL injuries.

Complete ACL tears have shown to heal in as little as 3 months.
