INJURY KNOWLEDGE HUB

In the United States, the incidence of ACL injuries is estimated to be around 100,000 to 200,000 cases per year, and in population involved in sports like soccer and basketball, the incidence rate can be as high as 1 in 3,000 participants annually. The injury poses a major challenge due to its long recovery time and potential for long-term knee problems. The cost of soft tissue injuries can be significant, both in terms of direct medical expenses and broader societal impacts. Innovations in ligamentoplasty, such as minimally invasive surgical techniques and the development of synthetic ligaments are key to make the procedures more effective.
