The injury of the anterior cruciate ligament is a common phenomenon nowadays. The causative factors, the recovery of this injury and the complexity of the injury and its involvement with many anatomical colon joint structures make the link an object of the modern bibliography. In adittion, physiotherapeutic rehabilitation of the patient is necessary, a process that is challenging for the therapist who, with knowledge, well-being and methodicity, will be able to return the patient to the previous condition. However, women for hormonal and anatomical reasons have a much higher incidence of anterior cruciate ligament injury, and the therapist should be prepared to understand the epidemiology of the injury in terms of gender but also to distinguish any differences in the recovery between in both sexes.
