ACL Injury Prevention Program
First, some facts about the ACL
- The ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) stabilizes the knee joint by attaching to the tibia and femur 
- There are 150,000-250,000 ACL injuries annually 
- Accounts for more than $800 million in US health-care costs each year 
- Football, soccer, basketball, and volleyball are the highest risk sports 
- 6 times higher injury rate in female athletes 
- 72% of ACL injuries are non-contact mechanisms such as pivoting, cutting, side stepping, jumping/landing, and large knee abduction angles (valgus). Only 28% of ACL injuries are from contact with other players.
