Article Synopsis
- A 20-year-old figure skater suffered a complete anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tear during a Biellmann spin, an overhead maneuver that doesn't involve weight on the knee.
- The injury is notable because it occurred in a way that hasn't been documented before, specifically without the skate blade touching the ice.
- The injury mechanism shares similarities with other noncontact ACL injuries but also includes centrifugal force as a potential factor.
