| In the U.S., there are about 100,000-200,000 ACL ruptures per year and about 100,000-150,000 ACL repairs per year. (Mall et al., 2014) These numbers are based on data from several years ago, thus may be higher today due to more younger individuals engaging in high-level sports and more older individuals staying active longer. The current incidence of ACL injuries and repairs is unknown. (Mall et al., 2014) The higher number of ruptures than repairs is due to those who opt for non-surgical treatment. | In the U.S., there are about 100,000-200,000 ACL ruptures per year and about 100,000-150,000 ACL repairs per year.

| - | ACL injuries generally occur beginning in late adolescence. Ages leading up to late adolescence do not typically sustain ACL injuries, but rather sustain growth plate injuries due to the relative weakness of the cartilage at the epiphyseal plate compared with the ACL.
