The San Jose Mercury News has a story about the abundance of ACL injuries among women’s basketball players in the Pacific-10 Conference.
Research has indicated that female athletes are two to eight times more likely to suffer ACL tears than their male counterparts. (That’s reflected this season in the Pac-10, where only one male basketball player has torn an ACL.) One report showed that about 2,200 female college athletes are sidelined each year by the injury.
Perhaps most cruel: A majority of the ruptures don’t involve contact with other players. Athletes suddenly, almost freakishly, crumple to the ground in agony.
