Recent post from ESSA:

"The incidence of ACL reconstructions in Australia is among the highest in the world. Nearly 200,000 ACL reconstructions were performed in Australia between 2000 and 2015."

YOWZER!

Girls/women are at more risk of this injury because we have wider hips, meaning our femurs are on more of an angle then males femurs are (called the "q-angle").

This puts the knee at greater risk of injury.

What can we do about it? Make our knees, hips and ankles strong!
