Is it possible to tear your acl from twisting your knee?
8 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes, but: there are other stabilizing ligaments that are more prone to injury with twisting. Physical exam and imaging would be needed to differentiate the injury and guide decision for surgery and/or rehab.
