Generalised joint hypermobility and excess knee hyperextension are associated with an increased risk for second ACL injury, but not primary ACL injury, in female football players: A 5‐year follow‐up

Knee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose This study aimed to investigate the association between generalised joint hypermobility, knee hyperextension, knee laxity, and static standing alignment with the risk of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury in a cohort of female football players with an ACL‐reconstructed (ACLR) knee and in knee‐healthy controls.

Multifactorial determinants of male genital measurements: Correlations of stretched penile length and anogenital distance with anthropometric parameters

Andrology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background The stretched penile length is recognized as the most reliable measure of true penile size, this fact is not widely acknowledged, and societal myths often associate penile length with other anthropometric measurements. While markers of prenatal androgen exposure, such as anogenital distance and the second‐to‐fourth digit ratio (2D ...
