https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28795075/> The Effect of Menstrual Cycle and Contraceptives on ACL Injuries and Laxity: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis> Background: Women are at substantially greater risk for anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries than are men.> Purpose: To conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis of the literature to clarify the effect of the menstrual cycle and contraceptives on the laxity of and noncontact injuries to the ACL. > Conclusion: The literature suggests an association between hormonal fluctuations and ACL injury. Recent studies have suggested that oral contraceptives may offer up to a 20% reduction in risk of injury. The literature on ACL injuries and the menstrual cycle has more than doubled over the past decade, permitting quantitative analysis for the first time. However, the overall strength of this evidence is low. Promising potential directions for future research include long-term observational studies with ongoing hormonal assays and large interventional trials of follicular suppression, including newer hormonal methods. The pull quotes from the conclusion:
- research suggests an association between hormonal fluctuations and ACL injury
- studies suggest that oral contraceptives may offer up to a 20% ___reduction__ in risk of injury
- ACL injuries and the menstrual cycle research is insufficient
