How can someone effectively comment on the cause of knee injuries if you aren't a doctor? For example, how come you don't see too many 100 metre sprinters do their ACL, or marathon runners do a similar injury running on concrete non-stop for 3 hours?
That said, if I had to put it down to one factor, I would say ground conditions. Having suffered multiple knee injuries, I know that surfaces which are flat and soft, yet firm, are by far the best to play on. Any minor undulation or divot can cause a major injury.
