Abstract

ackground information: the knee joint is one of the most affected and injured joints in the body, with the Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) injury being the most common (about 79%). Howe-ver, when this injury involves athletes, not only does it cause physical damage, but physiological and, particularly, psychological as well, as it has a high recurrence rate or provokes a contralateral injury after returning to sports. This damage sometimes steers the athlete away from sports al-together, or performance decreases. Hence, these limitations or impairments directly affect the athletesʹ quality of life. Case report: in this study, monitoring or a follow up of a female handball athlete who had to undergo three reconstructions of the ACL was carried for 15 years in order to evaluate the physical, functional and psychological impairment that these surgeries caused over the years. Conclusion: it can be verified that the patient completely steered away from sports activities after the surgeries and developed a severe arthrosis process as a consequence of serious muscular deficit.
