Are bunions & acl tears related? having bunion cause acl tear?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Possible?: Acl tears are usually traumatic but can be due to chronic overuse due unstable feet. Bunions are associated with pronated flat feet which can cause excess torque on the knee joint ligaments which weaken and stretch out leading to tears.
