A member asked:
Is it possible to tear my acl or mcl while getting up?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: The pivoting involved in tearing the acl is difficult to do just by getting up from a seated position but not impossible. It would necessitate a sudden twisting of the upper body on a planted knee that is held stationary. While not impossible, it is rarely a tear that occurs with such low energy.
