reconstruction (ACLR) is high. Contributing risk factors are, however, still not clearly …

Although most studies have introduced risk factors related to anterior cruciate ligament
reconstruction failure, studies on combinations of high-risk factors are rare. To provide a …

Background The risk of sustaining a contra-lateral anterior cruciate ligament (C-ACL) injury
after primary unilateral ACL injury is high. C-ACL injury often contributes to a further decline …

long-term clinical outcomes and survivorship after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) …

Background: The rate of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction is increasing over
time in pediatric/adolescent populations, but there is less evidence to support how …

Purpose The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between obesity and
