Readers are provided with a clear overview of the problem on an international scale. It examines the results of various prevention strategies for ACL injuries and provides techniques for reducing injury risk. It addresses the interplay between biomechanical and neuromuscular risk factors, as well as future research needed to better understand and control the incidence of ACL injury.
