ACL Re-injury[edit | edit source]
Athletes who suffered ACL injuries are at risk of recurrence in the first year, and often in the second year, upon returning to play. The incidence of re-injury in the first two years following reconstruction is estimated to be 6 times greater than thise who didn't suffer ACL injury, this incidence is much higher in female athlets[1]. A study reported 29.5% ACL re-injury in the second year with 20% sustaining a contralateral injury[1]. The risk of re-injury extends up to 5 years following injury[2].
