Since 1972 Title IX legislation there has been an increase in female sports participation, and with that there has been an increase in female related injuries. For example, the female athlete has a two to eight times more frequency of injuring her ACL compared to males. This has led to additional research focusing on why female athletes have a higher disposition for ACL injuries. The aim of this study is to quantitatively assess the literature for authorship relationships, general publication trends, and keyword occurrences through conducting a bibliometric review.
The data used in this analysis was collected from PubMed. A MeSH search was conducted with the following parameters: (women or female[MeSH Terms]) AND (ACL injury[MeSH Terms])) NOT (male[MeSH Terms])) NOT (men[MeSH Terms])) NOT (man[MeSH Terms]) on February 11th 2025.
The bibliometric analysis resulted in 435 publications from the year 2000 to 2025. There was a steady increase in the number of publications over the observed study period. The top keywords included: "ACL injury" and "female", and common sports related ACL injuries like soccer and basketball. Additional noteworthy findings included soccer, basketball, quadriceps, and biomechanics. There was linkage between numerous authors associated with the Norwegian School of Sport Sciences and the Oslo Sports Trauma Research Center.
The paper provides an analysis on current female ACL injury trends. It is important to discuss injury related disparities between female and male athletes, so prevention programs can be put into place.
自1972年《第九章》立法以来，女性参与体育运动的人数有所增加，与之相伴的是与女性相关的伤病也有所增加。例如，女运动员前交叉韧带损伤的频率是男性的两到八倍。这引发了更多研究，聚焦于女运动员为何更容易发生前交叉韧带损伤。本研究的目的是通过进行文献计量学综述，定量评估关于作者关系、总体出版趋势和关键词出现情况的文献。
本分析中使用的数据从PubMed收集。于2025年2月11日进行了如下参数的医学主题词（MeSH）检索：（女性[医学主题词]） AND （前交叉韧带损伤[医学主题词]）） NOT （男性[医学主题词]）） NOT （男性（复数形式）[医学主题词]）） NOT （男人[医学主题词]））。
文献计量分析得出2000年至2025年有435篇出版物。在观察到的研究期间，出版物数量稳步增加。首要关键词包括：“前交叉韧带损伤”和“女性”，以及足球和篮球等与运动相关的常见前交叉韧带损伤。其他值得注意的发现包括足球、篮球、股四头肌和生物力学。与挪威体育科学学院和奥斯陆运动创伤研究中心相关的众多作者之间存在联系。
本文对当前女性前交叉韧带损伤趋势进行了分析。讨论男女运动员之间与伤病相关的差异很重要，这样才能制定预防方案。
