Pathogenesis of Anterior Cruciate Ligament Injury

Orthopaedic Nursing, 2002
Pathology, part of the basic science of medicine and nursing, is an understanding of how cellular mechanisms and organ systems function conjointly in the physical body. An awareness of the biomechanics and pathophysiology related to a particular mechanism of injury (MOI) provides a more appreciative sense of how tissues become damaged.

Anterior Cruciate Ligament Injuries

JBJS Journal of Orthopaedics for Physician Assistants, 2018
Women are 8 times more likely than men to injure an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL). The female ACL has estrogen and relaxin receptors, which affect the integrity of the tissue as the hormones rise and fall. Relaxin, a hormone produced by the corpus luteum, affects connective-tissue elasticity by decreasing collagen, thus weakening the tissue’s ...
