• This is one of the larger prospective datasets linking anatomic and physiologic variables — notch width, joint laxity, BMI, and knee laxity — to noncontact ACL injury risk, rather than relying on retrospective or case-control data. • The finding that risk compounds when multiple factors coexist (and that certain combinations were uniformly associated with injury in women) supports thinking about ACL injury as multifactorial rather than attributable to a single anatomic or hormonal cause. • Useful context for residents evaluating why some athletes with seemingly normal knees still tear their ACL, and why sex-specific risk profiles have been a focus of ACL injury prevention research.
