Abstract
Women taking hormonal birth control have a statistically decreased risk of experiencing an anterior cruciate ligament injury requiring surgery. The protective effect of hormonal birth control is evident irrespective of whether by device, oral medication, or systemic administration. Additionally, the benefits are seen with diverse products. Owing to the complexity and interactions of hormones on physiology, the mechanism of this protection is unclear due to the complexity and interactions of hormones on physiology. it has been shown that hormonal fluctuations has multiple affects including postural stability, cognitive performance, and brain function including risk aversion. Finally, this effect is not seen in female individuals aged between 15 and 19 years, although data collection on this topic in this age group may be poor.
期刊介绍：
Nowhere is minimally invasive surgery explained better than in Arthroscopy, the leading peer-reviewed journal in the field. Every issue enables you to put into perspective the usefulness of the various emerging arthroscopic techniques. The advantages and disadvantages of these methods -- along with their applications in various situations -- are discussed in relation to their efficiency, efficacy and cost benefit. As a special incentive, paid subscribers also receive access to the journal expanded website.
