Background: The rerupture or need for revision after anterior cruciate ligament
reconstruction (ACLR) is a serious complication. Preventive strategies that target the early …

Background The risk of sustaining a graft rupture after anterior cruciate ligament
reconstruction (ACLR) is high. Contributing risk factors are, however, still not clearly …

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 …

Background Having a family history of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury has been
investigated in the literature but few studies have focused on this factor specifically or …

Objectives We aimed to determine the lifetime genetic risk for anterior cruciate ligament
(ACL) rupture. Methods We used a twin study approach, linking the Swedish Twin Register …

Background Studies have shown a familial predisposition for anterior cruciate ligament
(ACL) rupture and have been followed by genetic-association studies on polymorphisms in …

Background: Posterior tibial slope (PTS) has recently gained increased attention for its
possible role in anterior cruciate ligament and posterior cruciate ligament injury. The …

It has been reported that the single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) rs1800012 in COL1A1

Background: Tendon injury such as tendinopathy or rupture is common and has multiple
etiologies, including both intrinsic and extrinsic factors. The genetic influence on …

Modern competitive sport has evolved so much that athletes would go to great extremes to
