Introduction

Risk factors for non-contact ACL injury

The purpose of this study was to prospectively evaluate risk factors for non-contact ACL injury in female high school basketball players.

Materials and Methods

Results

Conclusion

Greater muscle strength may lead to joint stabilization and reduce ACL injuries1).

Weakness in the hip abductor strength may lead to occur greater hip adduction and internal rotation

which cause increasing knee valgus and knee abduction moments2).

Lower balance ability is a risk factor for ACL injury3).

Prospective 3-year cohort study

195 elite high school

female basketball players

171 players

Non-contact ACL group

14 players

Evaluation items

Height(cm), Body weight(kg), Body mass index(%)

Anterior laxity of the knee; KT-1000 arthrometer®(mm)

General joint laxity(point)

Femoral anteversion(degree)

Navicular drop measurement;Sitting-Standing(mm)

Muscle strength during knee ext. and flex.; MYORET ® dynamometer(Nm/kg)

Muscle strength during hip abd.; Micro total analysis system F-1 ® (Nm/kg)

Locus length(cm/s)

Environmental area(cm2)Greater body mass index and muscle strength of hip abduction were risk factors for

non-contact ACL injury in female Japanese high school basketball players.

On high school enrollment, the athletes were administered a baseline survey

as presented bellow.

24 excluded because they either had history of ACL injury or could not complete the study because they were unwell on the day of baseline survey.

Control group

156 players

ACL injuries were diagnosed at a medical institution following full physical

examination and magnetic resonance imaging, and after direct arthroscopic

visualization confirmed a complete ACL tear during subsequent ACL

reconstruction.

1 player excluded because she injured by contact injury mechanism.

A total of 16 ACL tears occurred.(15 players) 1 player had bilateral ACL injury.

During game 9 knees, During practice 5 knees

Feint 6 knees, landing 4 knees, others 4 knees)
