Pathogenic bacteria are constantly exposed to hostile conditions, in which factors such as host defenses and antibiotic treatments are continuously changing their environments.
The application of higher level multivariate statistical analysis, such as structural equation modelling can be utilised to understand the relationships between hostile behaviours, other workplace factors and clinical outcomes.
Whilst other studies have recorded higher prevalence rates [ 27, 28] these are potentially explained by contextual factors including hostile living conditions in refugee camps [ 28, 29] and limited health infrastructure in Pakistan's tribal areas [ 27].
The poor healing capacity of the torn ligament caused by biological factors, the hostile environment of the synovial fluid [ 9, 10], the lack of blood supply [ 11, 12], and the postinjury instability separating the ligament stumps by 5 10 mm compromises self-healing and the formation of stable scar tissue [ 13- 15].
