Evaluation of Anterior Tibial Knee Translation in Healthy Women With and Without Hormone Therapy
Women are recognized as being at greater risk of ACL injury, with a risk 6 times higher than that of men. Hyperlaxity is a risk factor for ACL injury, but the pathophysiological basis for this is poorly studied. Hormonal impregnation and certain periods of the menstrual cycle (ovulatory phase) are risk factors for ACL injury. It therefore seems interesting to study the influence of hormonal impregnation on ligament laxity. To date, to our knowledge, no study has investigated such a relationship.
