Program Works to Prevent Torn ACLs in Female Athletes

by Administrator on September 28, 2007

USA Today has an interesting article about a program in New York designed to prevent torn ACLs in female athletes.

The Prevent injury, Enhance Performance, or PEP, program reduced non-contact ACL tears by up to 88% in a two-year study of 1,400 NCAA Division I female soccer players by Santa Monica Orthopaedic and Sports Medicine Research Foundation.
“It’s a proven training program,” said DeVinney, foundation vice president and chief program officer.
Each ACL injury can cost $17,000 in surgical repair and rehabilitation, not counting possible future complications, such as osteoarthritis or total knee arthroplasty, which are believed to occur more often in ACL-deficient or ACL-reconstructed knees. On top of that is the emotional and psychological cost.
