The most commonly injured joint is the knee due to the tremendous stresses applied on its structures in athletic activities. Knee injuries are also the leading cause of long-term disability of athletes in a broad spectrum of sports (Larson 1985; Kujala 1986; Kaye 1989 b). Knee injuries may develop from overuse syndromes in running or swimming, from deceleration injuries in basketball, sprint or soccer, or from violent, direct blows in football, hockey, rugby, or skiing (Kennedy 1979; Hughston and Barrett 1983). Knee injuries are also related, less expectedly, to such activities as middle-distance running and javelin throwing (King 1986 b).
