Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) injuries rank among the most prevalent and severe types of injuries, significantly impacting both athletes and non-athletes alike. These injuries not only result in immediate physical impairment, such as intense pain, substantial swelling, and a marked loss of mobility, but also carry long-term health consequences that can alter a person's quality of life. Chronic pain, persistent instability, and an increased risk of developing osteoarthritis are among the lasting effects that can follow an ACL injury. An in-depth understanding of the biophysics behind ACL injuries is paramount for devising effective prevention and treatment protocols. Biophysics, which combines principles from physics with biological systems, provides crucial insights into the mechanical and structural integrity of the ACL and its susceptibility to injury under various conditions. This systematic review aims to collate and synthesize the current knowledge surrounding the biophysical mechanisms that underlie ACL injuries.
前交叉韧带(ACL)损伤是最常见且严重的损伤类型之一,对运动员和非运动员都会产生重大影响。这些损伤不仅会导致即时的身体损伤,如剧痛、严重肿胀和明显的活动能力丧失,还会带来长期的健康后果,进而改变一个人的生活质量。慢性疼痛、持续的不稳定感以及患骨关节炎风险的增加都是ACL损伤可能产生的长期影响。深入了解ACL损伤背后的生物物理学对于制定有效的预防和治疗方案至关重要。生物物理学将物理学原理与生物系统相结合,为深入了解ACL的机械和结构完整性以及其在各种条件下的损伤易感性提供了关键见解。本系统综述旨在整理和综合当前围绕ACL损伤背后生物物理机制的知识。
