Recent epidemiological studies have recognized a significantly higher anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury rate in female athletes as compared with male tenders athletes in sports such as basketball, hand-ball, gymnastics, and soccer. (Gray, J. A survey of injuries to the anterior cruciate ligament of the tenders knee in female basketball players. International Journal of Sports Medicine. 1985; 6:314-316.; Nilsson, S. Soccer injuries in adolescents. American Journal of Sports Medicine. 1978; 6:358-361.; Slauterbeck, J. The incidence of anterior cruciate ligament tears in men and women collegiate soccer players Orthop. Trans. 1996; 20:259.; Whiteside, P. MenÆs tenders and women's injuries in comparable sports. Physician and Sports Medicine. 1980; 8:130-136.) Although various causes of this phenomenon have been postulated, including differences in ligament or muscle strength, conditioning, endurance, anatomy, and training techniques, the most plausible appears to be the hormone factor.
