Article Synopsis
- - The study analyzed ACL injury data from 2015 to 2020 in Australian high-performance athletes, revealing that 132 injuries occurred primarily in female athletes (77 of 108 total), with a significant number happening during training.
- - The median time to return to sport (RTS) was 369 days, and older athletes had shorter RTS times, although injuries caused considerable time loss regardless of concurrent knee issues.
- - Notably, 25.8% of the ACL injuries were subsequent to a previous injury, mainly affecting the same knee, indicating a need for improved prevention and rehabilitation strategies.
