Introduction. A knee injury, especially anterior cruciate ligament, has recently become more common significantly affecting the life standard. There are many factors that cause an injury of the anterior cruciate ligament, and one of them is limited range of motion in the hip joint. This study has been aimed at finding a relationship between the range of motion in the hip joint and the anterior cruciate ligament injury. Material and Methods. Of 88 male athletes included in the study sample in 2014, 60 (68%) had ruptured knee anterior cruciate ligament and 28 (32%) were without an injury. There was no significant difference in sex, height, weight, age and time of injury between the two groups. Results. Significant differences were found in the range of motion between the left and right leg in both groups. The athletes with a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament had an abduction limit of the hip joint (p=0.007) and a wider range of motion of the knee joint (p=0.002) than the athletes without the injury. Conclusion. Data obtained in this study suggest a possible relationship between a limited hip abduction of range of motion in athletes and an increased risk of anterior cruciate ligament injury.
