The Psychological Aspect of Anterior Cruciate Ligament Injuries
Published in Adam Gledhill, Dale Forsdyke, The Psychology of Sports Injury, 2021
As noted previously, the return-to-sport phase may be challenging for an athlete who has sustained an ACL injury and undergone reconstruction surgery. Athletes undergoing ACL reconstruction typically expect to be able to return to their pre-injury sport and whilst surgery addresses impairments in knee function, one in every three athletes do not make the transition back to sport after surgery (Ardern, Taylor et al., 2014; Ardern et al., 2011a; Ardern et al., 2011b). Psychological responses have been identified as a potentially modifiable factor associated with returning, or not returning, to the pre-injury level of sport (Ardern et al., 2011a; Czuppon et al., 2014; Everhart et al., 2015; te Wierike et al., 2013).
Knee Pain
Published in Benjamin Apichai, Chinese Medicine for Lower Body Pain, 2021
Anterior cruciate ligament injuries most commonly occur during sports that involve sudden stops or changes in direction, pivoting, cutting, jumping,1 and landing. Soccer, basketball, football, and downhill skiing2 are examples of high-risk sports.
Ligament Reconstruction with Reference to the Anterior Cruciate Ligament of the Knee
Published in Verna Wright, Eric L. Radin, Mechanics of Human Joints, 2020
Injuries to knee ligaments can be most incapacitating, and consequently reconstruction of knee ligaments appears to be the most commonly practiced at present. Reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament is much more frequent than that of the posterior cruciate ligament, both because of the greater incidence of injuries of the former and also to some extend the relative ease of reconstructing the ACL.

Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries result in significant short- and long-term consequences(Deacon et al. 1997; McArdle 2010; Paterno et al. 2012; Liptak and Angel 2017; Nagelli and Hewett 2017; Doorley and Womble 2019). Difficulty returning to preinjury level of sport(McArdle 2010; Liptak and Angel 2017; Doorley and Womble 2019), increased risk of secondary ACL injury, and early onset osteoarthritis(Deacon et al. 1997; Paterno et al. 2012; Nagelli and Hewett 2017) are common ramifications following an ACL injury. Women appear more affected by these consequences, reporting worse scores for knee pain and quality of life both one- and two-years post operation following an ACL injury(Ageberg et al. 2010). ACL injuries occur in Australian football (AF)(Webster et al. 2021), and place a significant financial burden on the Australian health-care systems(Janssen et al. 2012). Considering the significant cost burden and the short- and long-term consequences of ACL injuries it is important to implement strategies that reduce the rate of these injuries occurring in AF.

Athletic knee injuries often occur during sudden single leg loading with directional change movements (Blackburn and Padua, 2009; Hanzlikova, Richards, Hebert-Losier, and Smekal, 2019; Kernozek et al., 2005). Despite the growing use of athletic knee injury prevention strategies (Powers and Fisher, 2010; Sugimoto et al., 2016), non-contact anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), and meniscal injuries continue to be problematic (Kaeding, Léger-St-Jean, and Magnussen, 2017). Knee injury prevention strategies that develop sports movement neuromuscular control through the subconscious integration of sensory information, coordinated dynamic joint stability, and whole-body postural control may help prevent or delay sports injury-related knee osteoarthritis (American Physical Therapy Association, 2016; Grooms et al., 2018; Hogan and Sternad, 2009; Hurd and Snyder-Mackler, 2007; Jones, Podolsky, and Greene, 2012; Wallace et al., 2017).

One of the most frequent and most serious injuries is the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) rupture [1]. For many athletes, this injury can mean the end of their career. Grindem et al. showed that, in a study on ACL reconstruction in soccer, only 53% of the athletes who suffered an ACL rupture returned to their pre-injury level of competition [4]. Studies in the sport of Judo showed that, similar to other sports, ACL ruptures were followed by a long time out of competition and could lead to a reduced level of competition after the injury [1]. However, there is no study that focuses on the professional and medical handling of the return to competition (RTC) process after an ACL injury in high-level judoka. This involves, besides the choice of treatment (conservative or surgical), the subsequent recovery period and functional criteria for a safe and evidence-based RTC. To regain the pre-injury level of competition and to reduce the risk of re-injury, RTC guidelines were developed [5–7]. These guidelines contain different tests to examine if an athlete is ready to return safely to competition. The number of studies that are supporting the use of functional tests, such as hop tests, is increasing [8,9]. It should be mentioned that to the current day it is not clear in the literature which combination of functional tests in different group of patients is indicative for a successful return to competition.
