“…Our result is similar to the result of previous studies from the USA and the UK, which demonstrated an increased incidence of these injuries with increased level of competition [27,28]. The most common mechanism led to these injuries was due to a non-contact mechanism (68.7%); this is consistent with what was observed by John et al (64.4%) of their sample [13]. Furthermore, The American Journal of Sports Medicine reported by Arendt and Dick that non-contact mechanism was the reason for most ACL injuries among college basketball and soccer players in the USA [29].…”

“…At King Fahd University Hospital, Al Khobar, Eastern Province, Saudi Arabia, a prospective study of sportsrelated injuries was conducted in a period of 12 months and knee injuries represented the majority of injuries encountered with a 27% [12]. Soccer is the leading sport activity associated with knee injuries [12,13]. In the USA, most of the collegiate studies were concerned with knee injuries among athletes; such an epidemiological study was conducted in the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) among men's and women's volleyball athletes where the knee joint was the most commonly injured body part (25.5% in males; 16.3% in females), with different patterns of injuries between male and female [14].…”

Background: The knee is considered the most common injured joint between young sport participants. However, there is lack of proper prevalence estimation in our population. The purpose of this study was to identify the prevalence of knee injuries among male college students and to observe the demographic data associated with it. Our secondary objective was to evaluate the awareness and knowledge about these injuries. Methods: This is a cross-sectional study. A survey was distributed to collect the data among male college students, King Saud University, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Out of 688 students who participated and completed the questionnaire, a total of 482 were considered valid and met the inclusion criteria. Data were analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS). Results: The overall prevalence of knee injury was 23.2% (n = 112). Most of them injured during sport activities especially soccer and 68.7% involved in a non-contact mechanism of injury. Among those who went to a hospital mostly were diagnosed as contusion (31.4%) then as meniscus tear, ACL, and collateral ligament injury, respectively. Majority was treated conservatively and only 10.7% needed surgery surprisingly. There was no statistically significant difference between those who are injured and whether they were warmed up and stretched or not (P = 0.619). Low level of knowledge about knee injuries was noticed among the participants 57.7%. Conclusion: Our study has highlighted the high prevalence of knee injuries and the need to raise the level of awareness and knowledge about these injuries in our population. Soccer was the most common sport associated with knee injuries; most of these injuries were treated conservatively.

Introduction: Despite the identification of various intrinsic and extrinsic risk factors associated with ACL tear, the exact etiopathogenesis of ACL tear is still incompletely understood. The evidence for association of COL1A1 gene polymorphisms with ACL tear has been somewhat conflicting. Objective of the study is: to determine if rs1800012 and rs1107946 polymorphisms of COL1A1 gene are associated with ACL tear in an Indian population study group. Methods: Fifty clinically, radiologically and surgically-proven ACL deficient patients and 52 healthy controls were included in the study. After isolation of DNA from peripheral blood monocytes, real time PCR was carried out to genotype COL1A1 rs1800012 and rs1107946 polymorphisms. Results: Both the groups were matched for age and sex. Hardy Weinberg equilibrium was maintained for both genotypes. There was no signifi-cant difference in the genotype or allele distribution between the case and control groups for both rs1800012 (p=0.516) and rs1107946 polymorphisms (p=0.971 for GT and p=0.823 for TT) in this preliminary study. Conclusion: The rs1800012 polymorphism of COL1A1 gene remains the first and most extensively tested gene polymorphism for its association with ACL tear. Under-representation of the TT genotype has been observed in Swedish and South African Caucasian populations with ACL tear. This has not been noted in the Polish Caucasian population and in our study. More studies with larger study samples from different ethnic populations are needed before COL1A1 gene polymorphism screening tests are incorporated into ACL tear prevention programs. Level of evidence: III b (case-control study).KEY WORDS: anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), COL1A1 gene, single nucleotide polymorphism, genotype frequency, allele frequency.

“…Rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is a common sports injury, and is especially associated with jump-landing tasks and side-step cutting activities such as basketball, soccer or tennis [1][2][3] . Despite the successes of ACL reconstruction surgery, up to 90% of patients continue to develop early osteoarthritis within 20-years post-surgery 4 .…”

“…This is an alarmingly high number given that patients with ACL injuries are often young athletes or adults who are fit and healthy. Interestingly, a high percentage of ACL ruptures occurs in non-contact situations, indicating that ACL injuries are likely influenced by poor neuromuscular control and improper movement execution rather than an external impact force delivered directly to the knee joint [1][2][3] . In general, female athletes seem to exhibit a greater incidence of non-contact ACL injury compared to male counterparts, which has been associated with the females' reduced capability to stabilise the joint during high-impact movements 5 .…”

SummaryBackground: The goal of this review is to summarise and discuss the reported influence of muscle-tendon forces on anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) loading during the jump-landing task by means of biomechanical analyses of the healthy knee. Methods: A systematic review of the literature was conducted using different combinations of the terms "knee", ''ligament'', ''load'', "tension ", "length", ''strain'', "elongation'' and ''lengthening''. 26 original articles (n=16 in vitro studies; n=10 in situ studies) were identified which complied with all inclusion/exclusion criteria. Results: No apparent trend was found between ACL loading and the ratio between hamstrings and quadriceps muscle-tendon forces prior to or during landing. Four in vitro studies reported reduced peak ACL strain if the quadriceps force was increased; while one in vitro study and one in situ study reported reduced ACL loading if the hamstrings force was increased. A meta-analysis of the reported results was not possible because of the heterogeneity of the confounding factors. Conclusion:The reported results suggest that increased hip flexion during landing may help in reducing ACL strain by lengthening the hamstrings, and thus increasing its passive resistance to
