Abstract
The authors report a series of 52 cases of serious knee ligament injuries in volleyball players. The most frequent mechanism of injury was landing from a jump in the attack zone. Women were more affected than men. Injuries were more frequent during games than training. Volleyball must then be considered among high-risk sports according to the frequency and gravity of our surgical findings. Results are similar to those obtained in athletes in other sports who underwent the same surgical procedure.
