Mechanisms of non-contact ACL injuries [PDF]

open access: greenBritish Journal of Sports Medicine, 2007
In soccer one of the most common knee injuries is the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tear, which usually occurs through non-contact mechanisms. Female soccer players are at higher risk of sustaining non-contact ACL injuries than male soccer players. A good understanding of ACL loading mechanisms is the basis for a good understanding of the mechanisms

Neurophysiology of ACL Injury. [PDF]

open access: yesOrthop Rev (Pavia)
The neurophysiology of ACL injury extends beyond the mechanical rupture of the ligament to encompass profound alterations in the central and peripheral nervous systems, impacting sensorimotor integration and neuromuscular control. The ACL, densely populated with mechanoreceptors, plays a critical role in joint proprioception, dynamically regulating ...

Hormonal Therapy: ACL and Ankle Injury

open access: bronzeMedicine & Science in Sports & Exercise, 2005
No definitive explanation for the difference in rate of male and female noncontact ACL injury has been found. The hormonal environment, known to be different in men and women has been hypothesized as a possible source for this difference in injury rate.To confirm earlier work looking at periodicity of noncontact ACL injury.

ACL and Posterolateral Corner Injuries [PDF]

open access: yesCurrent Reviews in Musculoskeletal Medicine, 2019
The importance of the posterolateral corner (PLC) with respect to knee stability, particularly in the setting of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) deficiency, has become more apparent in recent years. The purposes of this article are to review the current concepts of PLC injuries and to address their role in the ACL-deficient and ACL-reconstructed knee ...
