My note thread to follow....

#Sportsfisio2020
@MarkusWalden "ACL injuries in men's professional football: a 15-year prospective study on time trends and return-to-play rates reveals only 65% of players still play at the top level 3 years after ACL rupture" bjsm.bmj.com/content/50/12/…

@MarkusWalden In their database:
- Few career-ending injuries (1.8%)
- Approx 7% retear rate w/in 1 yr post #ACLR

Are these re-injuries failures? Or a deliberate high-risk decision? Interesting question.

But onward ho! First up with my note thread attached: @DrKateWebster on #ACL RTS and reinjury rates in elite female athletes.

Impt to point out: a lot of data is often on male athletes, not as much known about female athletes!

#sportsfisio2020
@DrKateWebster At ALL LEVELS OF PARTICIPATION, females are at greater risk for #ACL injury.

Overall, elite athletes: 83% return to pre-injury level

Elite females: Also 83%!
(incl handball, soccer, alpine skiing/snowboarding, basketball)
@DrKateWebster Time for RTS:
- No sex difference (Walden et al, KSSTA 2017)
- NCAA Division 1 soccer: cleared at 6 mths (Howard 2015)
- WNBA (Namdari 2011): 11.8 mths
