- Abstract
This article discusses the specific differences in ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) injuries, treatment, and return to sports in the sport of ski jumping. Ski jumping is a challenging sport that carries a risk of severe knee injuries, particularly ACL tears. The biomechanical factors contributing to ACL injuries in ski jumping include high ground reaction forces, knee internal rotation, and hip rotation/flexion/abduction. The article emphasizes the need for injury prevention programs, optimized ACL reconstruction techniques, and rehabilitation guidelines specific to ski jumping. Additionally, there is a lack of data on return to sport testing and criteria for ski jumpers after ACL reconstruction. The authors call for further research and the development of prevention programs to reduce the incidence of ACL injuries in ski jumping.
