ACL-KNEE and the FEMALE ATHLETE

Research Says.....

There were around 3 million ACL injuries in females in the year 2003. At an average cost of $20-25,000 per injury in the all aspects of the health care industry, ACL’s are a big business.  This is why there is so much research guided toward physicians, therapists, and athletes as to how best surgically repair and rehabilitation the patients. It has also been said that the likelihood of injuring the non-injured ACL can be up to 50% greater than in those without ACL injuries.
