Abstract

Authors report a series of 27 cases of serious knee ligament injuries on volleball players. The most frequent mechanism of injury was found in landing from a jump in the attack zone. Women are more affected than men. Injuries were related more to a playing action than to a training session. Volleyball must then be considered between the high risk sports due to the frequency and gravity of our surgical findings. Results are similar to those obtained in other athletes using the same surgical procedure.
