(Reuters Health) - Despite research suggesting women's knees are more
prone to ligament injuries, a new Swedish study finds that men in that
country have a greater number of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tears,
and surgeries to fix them, than do Swedish women.
.
The report, published in the American Journal of Sports Medicine, is the
first to count ACL injuries across the entire Swedish population - not
just among players of particular sports, or in certain regions - which may
help explain the findings, according to the authors.
.
"I think the difference is that earlier studies studied at-risk
populations. In those studies, women are more prone to get injured. The
difference with this study is that we studied the general population,"
said Dr. Richard Nordenvall, of Karolinska University Hospital in
Stockholm.
.
The ACL is the key stabilizing ligament in the knee, and is most often
injured during sports that involve quick turns or pivoting movements, like
basketball, soccer and skiing. It has been estimated that 80,000 cruciate
ligament injuries (the majority, ACL) occur in the U.S. every year, and
almost half are surgically repaired.
.
Data for Sweden was incomplete, so Nordenvall and his colleagues used a
nationwide database of patients to see how many Swedes had knee ligament
injuries and how many had surgical repairs between 2002 and 2009.

Abstract
Background: A few national cruciate ligament (CL) registers have been
initiated with operative surveillance and outcome monitoring. No
nationwide study describing CL injury has ever been done.
Purpose: To study the incidence and characteristics of patients diagnosed
with cruciate ligament injury in Sweden.
Study Design: Descriptive epidemiology study.

.
Conclusion: This study defines the incidence of CL injury and also
demonstrates sex differences in which men were more likely to sustain a CL
injury, although female patients were injured at an earlier age. The
findings in this study corroborate the results from recent surgical
registers.
Clinical Relevance: No data have hitherto been published including all
patients with CL injury, treated both surgically and nonsurgically. Such
baseline epidemiologic data are crucial to be able to validate and judge
the generalizability of results from procedure registers and clinical
studies.
