ACL Injury Epidemiology

2013
Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tear is a relatively common injury with serious short- and long-term repercussions. A number of risk factors, such as female gender or the specific types of sports played, predispose some individuals to ACL injury. There are risk factors that are modifiable, so we can help mitigate this risk through injury prevention ...

In Vitro Models of ACL Injury [PDF]

, 2013
The development of new ACL treatment strategies is often initiated with in vitro research. In vitro (Latin for “in glass”) describes techniques where cells are isolated and cultured outside the body to study their response to a variety of specific environmental cues involving scaffolds or growth factors.

The ACL Response to Injury

2013
The ACL fails to heal after injury. One of the reasons proposed in the past has been that the ACL cells are somehow incapable – that they cannot perform the basic biological processes required for wound healing. As we have seen in Chap. 6, some of these required processes include functions like cell migration into the wound site, cell proliferation ...

The Physician and Sportsmedicine, 2000
An understanding of the etiology and prevention of noncontact ACL injuries has lagged behind diagnosis and treatment. However, a growing research implicates hormonal, anatomic, environmental, and neuromuscular factors that may predispose athletes, particularly women, to these injuries.

ACL injuries and stem cell therapy

Archives of Orthopaedic and Trauma Surgery, 2014
Tears of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) are very frequent injuries, particularly in young and active people. Arthroscopic reconstruction using tendon auto- or allograft represents the gold-standard for the management of ACL tears. Interestingly, the ACL has the potential to heal upon intensive non-surgical rehabilitation procedures.

Management of ACL Injuries in Handball

2018
For a handball player, an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury does not only represent a career-threatening injury in the short term but also a potential cause of osteoarthritis in the long term. ACL reconstruction is highly recommended in case of desire to resume handball practice.

Fifteen-Year Audit of Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstructions in the Australian Football League From 1999 to 2013: Return to Play and Subsequent ACL Injury

American Journal of Sports Medicine, 2018
Background: Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury has been a major cause of missed game time among Australian Football League (AFL) players. Return to play after ACL reconstruction is not always achieved, even among elite athletes.
