Sport-Specific Injury Mechanisms and Situational Patterns of ACL Injuries: A Comprehensive Systematic Review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury mechanisms are linked to distinct characteristics and situational patterns inherent to each sport. Understanding ACL mechanisms and situational patterns is crucial to tailor prevention strategies and end-stage rehabilitation practices, ultimately aiming to reduce the incidence of ACL injuries in sports.

Objectives

We aimed to compile and synthesize data regarding the injury mechanism and sport-specific situational patterns leading to ACL injuries across various sports.

Methods

We conducted a systematic search using MEDLINE, Embase, Cochrane Library, Allied and Complementary Medicine Database, and Physiotherapy Evidence Database in December 2022 and repeated in October 2023 to identify additional published articles. En
