Knee Injuries: Prevention

To prevent knee injuries, attention must be paid to reducing individual risk factors.

Behavioral risk factors

  • Physical activity
    • Sports that put a strain on the knees, such as soccer, handball, basketball, field hockey, or skiing
  • Ski bindings set too hard! Knee injuries are twice as common in women as in men; experts call for the introduction of a corresponding correction factor for women, which reduces the binding standard
