Which population most frequently gets acl injuries?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Athletic.: An ACL injury usually happens in athletics. It can also happen to non-athletic people. When ones foot is planted, and the knee twists in a direction that it is not meant for, the force overcomes the anterior cruciate ligament, resulting ina tear.
