Abstract:
Rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is a frequent injury, and it affects women more often than men. The increased incidence in females was attributed to biological, anatomical, and mechanical differences when compared to males' counterparts. Hormones, menstrual cycle, and genetic factors are also implicated. Dynamic factor such as hip, knee and ankle biomechanics while jumping, landing, and cutting activities are established contributors to ACL rupture in females. Social and economic aspects both is sports and daily life are currently implicated in increased risk of injury and delayed return to sport. Therefore, they should be taken into consideration when studying ACL injury risk factors and when developing rehabilitation and prevention programs.
