Anterior cruciate ligament injuries are a significant issue in sports medicine, particularly for female athletes. Extensive research has acknowledged the differences in injury rates between male and female athletes and the high prevalence of risk factors specific to females. Preventive techniques aim to address neuromuscular imbalances and biomechanical deficits, which are major risk factors for these injuries. While anatomical and hormonal risks may not be easily intervened, awareness of their influence remains important in clinical decision-making.
Anterior cruciate ligament injuries are a prominent issue in the field of sports medicine, especially for the female athlete. Extensive research has been performed that acknowledges the disparity in anterior cruciate ligament injury rates between male and female athletes and the high prevalence of risk factors specific to females. The underlying causes of anterior cruciate ligament injuries are widespread and are important to consider when approaching injury prevention. For example, prevention techniques aim to correct neuromuscular imbalances and improve biomechanical deficits, which are some of the mast significant risk factors leading to these injuries. While there is a lack of opportunity for intervention related to anatomical and hormonal risks, awareness of their influence on injury mechanisms remains an important factor in clinical decision-making. In pursuit of addressing the risks of this injury, several prevention programs have been established that have been shown to successfully reduce anterior cruciate ligament injury rates when properly executed. The most effective programs include early intervention with continuous training and are multicomponent programs including various targeted exercises to modify associated risk factors. Unfortunately, despite the development of these readily available programs, anterior cruciate ligament injury rates remain high due to insufficient implementation of these methods. Recognizing the efficacy and feasibility of utilizing prevention strategies and continuing to develop effective techniques remain of utmost importance to reduce the incidence of this substantial injury among athletes.
