Woman and ACL Injury
Researchers writing in the medical journal Knee surgery, sports traumatology, arthroscopy : official journal of the ESSKA say that estrogen fluctuations had no significant effect on anterior knee laxity, however, the effects on MTS (musculotendinous stiffness) over the 28-day cycle were considerable.


Eiling E, Bryant AL, Petersen W, Murphy A, Hohmann E. Effects of menstrual-cycle hormone fluctuations on musculotendinous stiffness and knee joint laxity. Knee Surg Sports Traumatol Arthrosc. 2007 Feb;15(2):126-32. Epub 2006 Jul 5.

The high risk of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries in female athletes may be related to hormonal fluctuations resulting in an increased laxity of ligaments and muscles.

Oestrogen fluctuations had no significant effect on anterior knee laxity, however, the effects on MTS over the 28-day cycle were considerable. Future studies should use matched subjects who are using the monophasic oral contraceptive pill to investigate the effects of oestrogen supplementation on lower limb MTS.
