Several ACL treatment options are helping put female athletes back in the game, according to Lohud.
Here are three quick notes:
1. Statistics show that female athletes who participate in jumping and pivoting sports are two to 10 times more likely to sustain a knee ligament injury compared to male athletes in the same sports.
2. Women are more prone possibly due to their anatomy, their leg alignments and landing mechanics and neuromuscular control.
3. The following can be a useful treatment for an ACL injury:
- Brace
- Grafting
- Repair techniques
