Biomechanical Risk Factors for Increased Anterior Cruciate Ligament Loading and Injury: A Systematic Review.

Background: Understanding the biomechanical risk factors for noncontact anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury can inform machine learning models, aid in prevention strategies, and guide rehabilitation protocols, reducing the incidence and burden of these injuries in both athletes and the general population.

Purpose: To determine the biomechanical risk factors associated with noncontact ACL injury and increased knee loading.

Study Design: Systematic review; Level of evidence, 4.
