Spontaneous rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament after anabolic steroids

B J Freeman et al. Br J Sports Med. 1995 Dec.

Abstract

Anabolic steroids remain popular among body builders and power athletes despite numerous warning about their side effects. A case of spontaneous rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament is reported in a bodybuilder taking steroids. While there are many published reports of tendon rupture associated with steroid intake, the authors could find no report relating to ligament disruption.
