Incidence of anterior cruciate ligament injury in a rural tertiary care hospital

Abstract

Introduction:Knee is the largest joint in the human body with a very complex anatomy. It is a mobile trochoginglymus (i.e. a pivotal hinge joint), which permits flexion and extension as well as a slight medial and lateral rotation. Since the knee supports nearly the whole weight of the body, it is vulnerable to both acute injury and the development of osteoarthritis. The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is an important ligament for the proper movement of knee joint. ACL injury commonly causes knee instability than injury to other knee ligaments.Conclusion:In our study, we found the following: 1. Patients suffering from road traffic accidents have the highest rate of development of ACL injury department of Jawaharlal Nehru medical collage sawangi. 2. Twisting injuries/trivial fall injuries/injuries from fall on ground give the second highest numbers of ACL injuries in rural population. 3. Men are more prone to have ACL injury than women in rural population. 4. Patients falling in the age group of 16-25 years of age are more prone to have ACL injuries in rural population.

Functional Outcome of Single-Bundle Arthroscopic Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction using Peroneus Longus Graft and Hamstring Graft: An Open-Label, Randomized, Comparative Study

“…Studies in India highlight soccer as a sport most associated with ACL injuries, often due to non-contact incidents [ 3 ]. Factors such as road traffic accidents and twisting injuries contribute significantly to ACL injuries in rural India, affecting more men aged 16-25 years [ 4 ].…”

ACL Reconstruction in a Poliotic Limb with Peroneus Longus Graft

“…The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is one of the most frequently injured ligaments of the knee in Indian and Asian population [ 9 , 10 ]. The ACL has been regarded as the main restraint on the tibia’s anterior translation with respect to the femur [ 11 ].…”

Literature Review: Pengaruh Eccentric Exercise Terhadap Peningkatan Kekuatan Otot Quadriceps Pada Cedera Anterior Cruciate Ligament (Acl)

“…Sekitar 70% diantaranya terjadi karena adanya mekanisme non kontak saat bermain olahraga kelincahan seperti basket, sepak bola, dan ski, sedangkan 30 % sisanya terjadi karena mekanisme kontak secara langsung. Dari semua insiden cedera cruciate ligament, hampir setengah dari jumlah keseluruhan angka kejadian merupakan insiden robeknya ligamen ACL (Kochhal et al, 2019). Priono et al (2019) menjelaskan bahwa terjadinya cedera pada ACL dapat disebabkan oleh adanya mekanisme trauma dengan posisi lutut rotasi, hiperekstensi (non-pivoting injury) atau karena kontraksi otot quadriceps femoris yang terjadi secara tiba-tiba.…”
