At a glance
Do not turn Mechanism (Pivoting, sudden deceleration, awkward landing) into a ranking. For ACL it only sits next to Common cause: Non-contact pivoting injuries in sport.

The boundary
Mechanism: Pivoting, sudden deceleration, awkward landing. That sentence limits the claim. It does not crown a person, a people, or a nation.
Common cause
Common cause adds a second limit: Non-contact pivoting injuries in sport. If the two limits disagree, keep both and do not average them into a prize.
Leave it as a check
Use the published tool for ACL with this limit in view. Check 2 of 4 is whether the axis you care about even includes Mechanism.
