Abstract

<p>The purpose of this study was to investigate the ACL injury status and the characteristics of ACL injury by the age and sex of ACL-injured patients in our hospital by grouping them by age into those under 22 years (Group I), those of 23 to 39 years (Group II), and those over 40 years (Group III). A total of 364 patients who underwent ACL reconstruction between January 2017 and September 2020 were included. The survey items were patient demographics, activity level, the sport of injury, injury mechanism, and injury situation. The statistical process used theχ2 test and the significance level was set at less than 5%. The age of the subjects was related to greater exposure at a competition level. Concerning the sport of injury, soccer, basketball, and handball showed higher percentages in younger age groups, soccer in males and volleyball in females in all groups, and skiing both in males and females in Group III. Concerning the injury mechanism, females showed a higher percentage of noncontact injuries than males in all groups. As for the injury situation, the older the age, the higher the percentage of injuries outside the game. ACL injuries are considered to occur regardless of regional and facility characteristics.</p>
