[Current principles in the treatment of knee ligament injuries].
Knee ligament injuries are the leading cause of disability from injuries occurring during sports. The incidence of these injuries is increasing in Norway, owing to greater participation in recreational and competitive sports. In Norway, the main contributor to anterior cruciate ligament injuries is European team handball where women who compete at a high level sustain a large number of injuries. This paper describes modern principles of diagnosis and treatment of these injuries, based on personal research and a review of the literature.
