Inside Shoulder
Nathan Sharpe (72)
I hope the mods think this is the right place.
I want to get some insight into people's experience of ACL injuries.
I am very interested in learning if there are patterns to field type, footwear, weight, height and age.
I will try to publish some findings and the raw data so those better able than me to discern statistical trends can tell me what insights they have into the results.
Personally I have had 2 ACL repairs and now both my teenage sons have ruptured theirs.
Obviously this is unscientific.
If responders could reply with:
Year:
Age:
Weight:
Height:
Leg: (L) or (R)
Surface:
Footwear:
Context: Training, Touch, Rugby, League, AFL, Soccer, Tennis etc.
Treatment: Surgical non-surgical
Outcome (scale 1-10) (1 being the worts outcome):
Hope this is interesting and informative.
This website discussed it but there aren o hard and fast facts: http://www.livestrong.com/article/548782-statistics-on-acl-injuries-in-athletes/
and this one told me something I kind of already knew: CONCLUSION:
The incidence of ACLR increased between 1994 and 2006, particularly in females as well as those younger than 20 years and those 40 years or older. Research efforts as well as cost-saving measures may be best served by targeting prevention and outcomes measures in these groups. Surgeons should be aware that concomitant injury is common.
