“…reported the greatest increase in ACLR incidence from 2002 to 2014 occurred in females aged 13–17 years. Additionally, in 2014 the incidence of ACLR in females ages 13–17 years (269 per 100 000) overtook males in the same age group (212 per 100 000) for the first time . In the USA, this increase has been explained by increased female participation in sports, particularly since the introduction of gender equality legislation ensuring equal access to college athletic scholarships .…”

Background: Anterior cruciate ligament injuries cause significant morbidity, and may be increasing in incidence as participation in high-risk sports increases. The aim of this study is to investigate the incidence of anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) surgery in New Zealand, and to analyse changes over time in demographic subgroups. Method: Data were sourced from the Accident Compensation Corporation. Data relating to primary ACLRs performed from 2009 to 2016 were evaluated (n = 20 751). Baseline population estimates were obtained from national census data to calculate the incidence, and results were compared to previous data from 2000 to 2005 (n = 7375). Results: The annual incidence of ACLR for 2009-2016 was 58.2 per 100 000 person-years and was greater in males than in females (72.2 and 44.9, respectively). This represents a 58% increase when compared with the period 2000-2005 (36.9 per 100 000). The greatest increase was seen in females aged 15-19 years, with the incidence increasing by 120% in the last decade, compared with 53% in females aged 20-24 years. The percentage of injuries caused by sports changed from 65% over 2000-2005 to 76% over 2009-2016, with netball, rugby and football accounting for the highest number of injuries. Conclusion: The incidence of ACLR procedures has increased markedly in New Zealand, and this increase was most pronounced in females aged 15-19 years. A greater proportion of procedures are now due to sport-related injuries.

“…In a study of private insurance data for 148 million U.S. residents found that overall, the average annual anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) surgery rate climbed 22 percent from 2002 to 2014, when it reached 75 procedures for every 100,000 people. However for teen girls, the average annual knee surgery rate rose by 59 percent during the study period to 269 procedures for every 100,000 people [20]. Female athletes who play soccer and basketball are two-to-eight times more likely to suffer an ACL injury compared to their male counterparts, according to the American Orthopaedic Society for Sports Medicine [21].…”

Background/Purpose: Studies investigating the trends of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction rates have shown that since 2006, females aged 13-17 years of age have had the highest injury rates of any age or gender group in the country. This study investigated the lower chain biomechanics of landing before and after a six-session training intervention. This training session was conducted between the fall and spring season break for a travel soccer club. Study design: Non-randomized controlled follow-up study. Methods: Thirty-six healthy, female soccer players between the ages of ten and fifteen years old participated. Using an inertial tracking system for three-dimensional kinematic (motion) analyses of a drop jump assessment that were conducted before and after a six-session training intervention focused on proximal hip strengthening, motor control, and lower extremity loading strategies. The study took place over a period of eight weeks. Results: When compared to pre-intervention measures for the drop jump, post-intervention measures were significantly improved bilaterally for each of the following variables: knee flexion (p = 0.000), hip flexion (p = 0.000), and hip abduction (p = 0.002. As compared to pre-test jump height, post-test jump heights were significantly lower by an average value of 1.8034 cm (p = 0.005). Conclusions: The results of this study showed that a short duration (six, 90 min, sessions occurring over 8 weeks) training intervention can significantly influence the landing

“…Each year an estimated 38,000 anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries are sustained by females in the United States with a 34% increase in ACL reconstruction rates between 2002 and 2014. 1 Unfortunately, those suffering from an ACL injury require longterm rehabilitation with a higher risk for reinjury and demonstrate increased rates of knee pain and prevalence of osteoarthritis. [1][2][3][4] Investigations into preventive screening techniques monitoring ACL injury risk factors aimed at mitigating female injury rates are warranted.…”

Context: Knee abduction angle (KAA), as measured by 3-dimensional marker-based motion capture systems during jumplanding tasks, has been correlated with an elevated risk of anterior cruciate ligament injury in females. Due to the high cost and inefficiency of KAA measurement with marker-based motion capture, surrogate 2-dimensional frontal plane measures have gained attention for injury risk screening. The knee-to-ankle separation ratio (KASR) and medial knee position (MKP) have been suggested as potential frontal plane surrogate measures to the KAA, but investigations into their relationship to the KAA during a bilateral drop vertical jump task are limited. Objective: To investigate the relationship between KASR and MKP to the KAA during initial contact of the bilateral drop vertical jump. Design: Descriptive. Setting: Biomechanics laboratory. Participants: A total of 18 healthy female participants (mean age: 24.1 [3.88] y, mass: 65.18 [10.34] kg, and height: 1.63 [0.06] m). Intervention: Participants completed 5 successful drop vertical jump trials measured by a Vicon marker-based motion capture system and 2 AMTI force plates. Main Outcome Measure: For each jump, KAA of the tibia relative to the femur was measured at initial contact along with the KASR and MKP calculated from planar joint center data. The coefficient of determination (r 2 ) was used to examine the relationship between the KASR and MKP to KAA. Results: A strong linear relationship was observed between MKP and KAA (r 2 = .71), as well as between KASR and KAA (r 2 = .72). Conclusions: Two-dimensional frontal plane measures show strong relationships to the KAA during the bilateral drop vertical jump.
