This literature review aims to examine how women are more susceptible to knee injuries, particularly those involving the anterior cruciate ligament. Knee injuries are always prevalent in injuries. Through studies and research, it has been found that these types of knee injuries occur more frequently in women, especially an anterior cruciate ligament injury. To understand some of the biological reasons why the ACL is more commonly injured in women, it is necessary to take an in-depth look at the anatomy of the knee. The knee joint is the largest joint in the body, along with one of the most easily injured. The four main components of the knee are bones, cartilage, ligaments and tendons. The three bones that make up the knee joint are the femur, the tibia and the patella. The two types of cartilage are meniscus and articular cartilage. Articular cartilage covers the ends of the femur and tibia, along with the back of the kneecap. This type of cartilage helps the knee slide smoothly over all the bones as you bend or straighten your leg. The meniscus is made up of two pieces. One is shaped like a “C”. The other piece is shaped like an "O". These two pieces act as shock absorbers between the femur and tibia. The meniscus is durable and made to help cushion and keep the joint stable. Another important part of the anatomy of the knee joint are the ligaments. Ligaments are how bones are connected to other bones. There are four main ligaments present in the knee. The four ligaments are divided into two types called collateral and cruciate ligaments. The collateral ligaments are located on the inside and outside of the knee. The medial collateral ligament, or MCL, is located on the inside. The lateral collateral ligament, or LCL, is f... center of paper... males. When a patellar tendon graft was used, success rates between males and females were about the same. If an athlete tears her ACL while she is still planning to return to play, it will be more difficult for her to return to play. The recovery time for a male is five to six months after surgery. For a woman, the recovery time from an anterior cruciate ligament injury is six to seven months. Therefore it was concluded and agreed that women are at a much greater risk of knee injury, particularly an anterior cruciate ligament injury. So the question is: can we prevent this from happening and how? I must say that, in my opinion, anterior cruciate ligament injuries cannot be stopped, both in men and women. Many of the factors contribute to biological reasons that cannot be avoided. There are some preventative measures that can be taken. Although there is no universally accepted ACL prevention program.
