Anterior Cruciate

In this study tried to investigate the prevalence of incidence of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury in collegiate male soccer and volleyball. Because it seems the injury in ACL is more common in soccer and volleyball players. The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is one of the most commonly disrupted ligaments in the knee. Male college athletes have higher rates of anterior cruciate ligament injury. Rates of anterior cruciate ligament injuries for men in collegiate in two sports activity have not been examined. Understanding anterior cruciate ligament injury incidence in soccer and volleyball, a contact and non-contact sport for men, could further injury prevention efforts. Data were collected from Sports Cultural Olympiad male students 2012-2014 and analyzed to compare anterior cruciate ligament injuries in male college soccer and volleyball athletes from the questionnaire (n=447) and through interviews with injured players. Our results indicate volleyball players are a high-risk sport for anterior cruciate ligament injury although this sport is among non-contact activity. Our study indicated that soccer has the greatest number of ACL injuries (α =1%) rather than volleyball. Our finding may be explained by the fact that soccer involves more contact than volleyball. Factors such as age, sex, chronicity of injury, associated pathology, activity level, attitude, range of motion and motivation must all be considered to compare of ACL injury. It was suggested that these data would be helpful for the reduction of injury risks and the costs besides with proper onsite precautions.
