Book description

Knee injuries are incredibly common, making up nearly a quarter of all musculoskeletal injuries worldwide. With the rise of active lifestyles and extreme sports in recent decades, we've seen a significant increase in these cases. Looking at the data, ligament injuries are the most frequent type of knee trauma, accounting for almost half of all cases. For athletes, damage to the internal structures of the knee is particularly common. 
Ruptures of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) are reported in up to 92% of cases, while meniscal injuries occur in 84%. Persistent or repeated injuries to the cruciate ligaments, menisci, and cartilage can lead to long­term degenerative changes. This often results in a significant decline in quality of life and can even cause permanent disability
