“…18,[49][50][51] The higher injury rate may be related to the increased medial knee displacement observed among injured athletes with a history of previous injury (Table 1) but also a host of other factors 1,56 . 1,57 In contrast to Hewett et al, 23 we did not detect side-to-side differences in any of the 5 candidate variables among the group of injured players. However, players with a history of previous injury clearly represent a high-risk group.…”

Dette er siste tekst-versjon av artikkelen, og den kan inneholde små forskjeller fra forlagets pdf-versjon. Forlagets pdf-versjon finner du på www.sage.com: http://dx.doi.org/10.1177/0363546515625048 This is the final text version of the article, and it may contain minor differences from the journal's pdf version. Background: The evidence linking knee kinematics and kinetics during a vertical drop jump (VDJ) to anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury risk is restricted to a single small sample. Still, the VDJ test continues to be advocated for clinical screening purposes.

Hip Restricted Range of Motion in Physical Examination: A Possible Risk Factor For Non-Contact ACL Injury

Background: There is significant evidence of hip and knee kinematic influence on each other. In some studies, hip restricted range of motion is a risk factor of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tear. Objectives: This study was designed to compare hip range of motion in physical examination between non-contact ACL injured patients with normal population. Patients and Methods: One hundred and forty patients with arthroscopically confirmed primary ACL ruptures were evaluated to assess their hip range of motion; these findings were compared with a control group of 100 patients with non ACL injury. Results: All parameters of hip range of motion (internal rotation, abduction and adduction) except external rotation were decreased significantly in ACL injured group compared with control group. Patients with sum of internal and external rotation lower than 80° had an increased odds ratio of having ACL injuries (OR = 2.64; 95% CI, 1.4 to 4.7). Conclusions: There was an association between non-contact ACL rupture and decreased hip range of motions including internal rotation, abduction and adduction as well as sum of internal and external rotation. Therefore, it may be possible to use hip physical exam finding as a predictor of ACL rupture.

“…27 Several studies showed a high risk of ACL tears in dry compared to wet conditions, in hot compared to cold season, or in pre-season. 28,29 Orchard in 2005 issued the results of a prospective study on Australian footballers and showed that grass type, additionally to ground hardness or weather conditions, would be accountable for a higher risk of noncontact ACL tears. 30 An epidemiologic study conducted by Dragoo et al in 2012 analyzing football players, found that the percent of ACL tears on artificial grass compared to natural grass was present in games, scrimmages, and practices, and across all divisions.…”

“…Most studies on preventive programs aimed to change risk factors for ACL tears rather than decrease injury incidence. 28,29 Even if male professional and recreational athletes comprise the biggest population of total ACL tears, the science behind prevention injury programs is based mainly on research conducted on female athletes, therefore researchers are not ready to offer optimal preventive plans for male sports players. 35 Prevention agendas center their attention on some key features of training: balance, proprioception, plyometrics, strengthening, endurance, and stability.…”

Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries are increasing amongst professional and recreational athletes, and creating prevention programs to reduce the occurrence of ACL damages is becoming a necessity. To prevent an ACL tear, it is necessary to comprehend the mechanisms and the risk factors of injury. Biomechanical and clinical studies try to understand these complex mechanisms in order to identify factors that can be improved and to develop training programs to prevent at least non-contact ACL injuries. There are several promising programs, but there are still many questions to answer. This paper analyzes the risk factors for ACL injuries and some aspects of the modern programs developed to decrease the rate of ACL tears.
