“…Further studies are needed to determine the role of gender, age, injury mechanism, and previous injuries on the distribution of ACL injuries during the season. However, in a context where a systematic recording of ACL injuries by sports organizations is still nonexistent or at its very beginnings in many countries, 15 the current retrospective analysis does provide important information pertaining to injury incidence in nonprofessional sports throughout a season. Coaches and practitioners should be aware of the increased number of ACL injuries during the first 2 months of a season and be cautious to implement ACL injury prevention programs during the preseason period.…”

Background: The incidence of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries is commonly reported as an annual incidence rate. There is relatively little information about the seasonal aspects of these injuries. The aim of the current study was to analyze the distribution of ACL injuries during the season in nonprofessional soccer, handball, and basketball based on a retrospective analysis of a hospital-based registry. Hypothesis: ACL injuries in soccer, handball, and basketball were more common within the first 2 months of the season in comparison with the rest of the year. Study Design: Case series. Level of Evidence: Level 4. Methods: Injury occurrence during the calendar year was divided into 6 periods of 2 months, with segment 1 (S1) representing the first 2 months of the season. For soccer, S1 corresponded to September and October. The season started 1 month later for handball and basketball, so S1 represented October and November. Chi-square tests were used to analyze the distribution of ACL injuries among segments according to gender, age, sports, and injury mechanism (contact/noncontact). Results: A total of 371 ACL injuries were included (soccer, 258, handball, 56, basketball, 57). Overall, the distribution of ACL injuries was not uniform across the segments ( P < 0.01). Almost one-third of the ACL injuries occurred in S1 (n = 104; 28%). Significant differences could be observed according to sports ( P < 0.01). There were fewer ACL injuries in S2 for soccer compared with basketball ( P < 0.05). In S5, there were significantly more ACL injuries in soccer compared with handball and basketball ( P < 0.05). Conclusion: A high occurrence of ACL injuries was reported immediately within the first 2 months of the season in nonprofessional soccer, handball, and basketball sports. Clinical Relevance: These findings indicate that ACL injury prevention programs should be started in the preseason period to allow for gradual increases of load.

“…The importance of establishing registries on a national basis has been advocated by Scandinavian authors to analyse the outcome after ALCR. 9 , 10 In many European countries, such registries are not available. Following these recommendations, clinical pathways may be established in individual hospitals or clinics to monitor patients after ACL injury, adapt the care to their individual needs and enhance successful RTS.…”

Almost all athletes who have suffered an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury expect a full return to sports at the same pre-injury level after ACL reconstruction (ACLR). Detailed patient information on the reasonable outcomes of the surgery may be essential to improve patient satisfaction.Pre-operative rehabilitation before ACLR should be considered as an addition to the standard of care to maximise functional outcomes after ACLR.We propose an optimised criterion-based rehabilitation programme within a biopsychosocial framework.No benchmark exists for evaluating return-to-sport (RTS) readiness after ACLR. Therefore, the authors propose a multi-factorial RTS test battery. A combination of both physical and psychological elements should be included in the RTS test battery.There is need for shared decision-making regarding RTS.Cite this article: EFORT Open Rev 2017;2:410-420.
