Excerpt

Despite considerable research into almost every facet of the ligament’s biology, ACL tears continue to plague athletes of all ages. The risk of tearing an ACL is multifactorial and includes anatomical, hormonal, biomechanical, and neuromuscular factors [4]. Women are four to six times more likely to injure their ACLs than are men [4]. Approximately 70% of ACL injuries are noncontact, suggesting that there is a biomechanical and/or neuromuscular deficit that may contribute to ACL tears, especially in women [4]. Surgical reconstruction can restore knee stability, but patients remain at risk for reinjury [2]. …
