Overview

Systematic review shows dynamic knee valgus is linked to non-contact ACL injury risk in athletes, indicating a need for prevention strategies.

Key Points

  • This review aims to assess the relationship between dynamic knee valgus during landing and non-contact ACL injury risk in athletes.
  • Systematic review following PRISMA 2020 guidelines.
  • Search conducted across multiple databases for studies from inception to December 2025.
  • Included studies quantified dynamic knee valgus in athletes without previous ACL injuries.
  • Of 456 records screened, 16 studies were included, 4 rated high quality and 12 moderate.
  • Greater dynamic knee valgus angles were correlated with higher non-contact ACL injury risk, especially in female athletes.
  • Contributing factors included reduced hip strength, impaired ankle flexibility, and decreased control.
