Press releaseNew HSS Study Identifies Knee Shape Linked to Higher ACL Injury Risk in Young Athletes
Findings show 3D knee shape, independent of ligament properties and training movement, puts some young, active individuals and females at higher risk for ACL tearsNEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Researchers at Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) used physics-based computer simulations to demonstrate that an individual's three-dimensional (3D) knee articular shape (encompassing bone, cartilage, and menisci) influences anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) loading, independent of the properties of the surrou
