Knee Ligamentous Injuries Overview

• Excessive valgus knee loads applied during weight-bearing decelerating activities
• Limiting external rotation of a flexed knee
• Sudden application of a valgus torque to the knee
• Resisting varus forces, particularly in the initial 0° to 30° of knee flexion (correct)

• Direct hit to the lateral aspect of the knee with the foot in contact with the ground
• Sudden violent hyperextension of the knee joint
• Deceleration and acceleration motions with excessive quadriceps contraction (correct)
• Sudden application of a valgus torque to the knee

• Sudden application of a valgus torque to the knee
• Fall on the flexed knee with the foot in plantar flexion
• Dashboard/anterior tibial blow injury (correct)
• Excessive valgus knee loads applied during weight-bearing decelerating activities
