Video was obtained of injuries occurring during competition and downloaded for 2-dimensional video analysis. Thirty-five in-game videos were obtained for analysis. Of the reviewed cases, 19% were noncontact ACL injuries where there was no player-to-player contact from an opposing player. Three injury mechanism categories were found based on the events at the point of initial ground contact of the foot of the injured limb: <jats:italic>single-leg casting<\/jats:italic> (mean dorsiflexion angle 18.9\u00b0 (14.4\u00b0); mean knee flexion angle 15.6\u00b0 (7.8\u00b0); and mean trunk lateral flexion 18.2\u00b0 (8.4\u00b0)); <jats:italic>bilateral hop<\/jats:italic> (mean dorsiflexion angle 18.2\u00b0 (15.2\u00b0), mean knee flexion angle 21\u00b0 (14.5\u00b0), mean trunk extension angle 6.9\u00b0 (11.4\u00b0), and landing angle from the athlete\u2019s center of mass 47.9\u00b0 (10.1\u00b0)); <jats:italic>and single-leg landing after contact<\/jats:italic> (mean abduction angle of the swing leg 105.4\u00b0 (18.1\u00b0), mean knee flexion angle of the injured limb 34.2\u00b0 (8.0\u00b0), and mean trunk ipsilateral flexion angle 22.2\u00b0 (7.0\u00b0)).<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1123\/jab.2022-0266","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,4,6]],"date-time":"2023-04-06T16:30:04Z","timestamp":1680798604000},"page":"143-150","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":19,"title":["Mechanisms of Anterior Cruciate Ligament Tears in Professional National Basketball Association Players: A Video Analysis"],"prefix":"10.1123","volume":"39","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2324-3868","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Adam J.","family":"Petway","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Human Factors & Athlete Engineering, Center for Advanced Vehicular Systems, Starkville, MS, USA"},{"name":"Department of Athletics, Men\u2019s Basketball, University of Louisville, Louisville, KY, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Matthew J.","family":"Jordan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Kinesiology, Sports Medicine Center, University of Calgary, Calgary, AB, Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Scott","family":"Epsley","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Independent Researcher, Washington, DC, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Philip","family":"Anloague","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physical Therapy, University of Dayton, Dayton, OH, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4944-3454","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Ernest","family":"Rimer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Sports Medicine Institute, UofL Health, Louisville, KY, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"100","reference":[{"issue":"2","key":"r1","series-title":"Orthop J Sports Med","article-title":"Performance after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction in national basketball association players","volume":"9","author":"DeFroda SF","year":"2021","unstructured":"DeFroda SF, Patel DD, Milner J, Yang DS, Owens BD.
