Abstract
Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries are common in soccer. Understanding the mechanisms of ACL loading and risk factors for ACL injury is critical to designing effective prevention programs. ACL injury risk factors, and current ACL injury prevention programs for soccer players. Anterior translation of the tibia due to the shearing force at the proximal end of the tibia is the primary loading mechanism of the ACL. There is no evidence that knee valgus is the primary mechanism of ACL. The identified risk factors have little correlation with ACL loading mechanisms. Results of studies on ACL injury prevention programs for soccer players are conflicting. Current ACL injury prevention programs for soccer players are clinically ineffective due to poor compliance. Future studies are urgently needed to identify risk factors for ACL injury in soccer that are related to ACL loading mechanisms and have causal relationships with injury rates, and to develop new prevention programs to improve compliance. Soccer is the most popular sport in the world. Playing soccer can improve musculoskeletal, metabolic, and cardiovascular functions. However, soccer is one of the sports that have the highest risk of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury. The incidence rates of ACL injury in soccer range 0.19% e 4.37% per person per year and 0.09e1.26 per 2000 sports exposures across various age and competition levels Female soccer players are 5e6 times more likely to suffer ACL injuries compared to male soccer players. The majority of ACL injuries occur without external contact to the knee joint ACL soccer players.
