Women's participation in sports at all levels has been increasing in recent decades. Many individual and team sports are at risk of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury. This injury leads to a permanent or long-lasting interruption of sports practice and to significant medical and economic expenses. Women are recognized as being more at risk of anterior cruciate ligament injury with a risk 6 times higher than men. Hyperlaxity is a risk factor for anterior cruciate ligament injury, but the pathophysiological bases are little studied. Hormonal impregnation and certain periods of the menstrual cycle (ovulatory phase) are risk factors for anterior cruciate ligament injury. It therefore seems interesting to investigators to study the influence of hormonal impregnation on ligament laxity. To date no study has investigated such a relationship.
