Did you know that there are between 100,000 and 200,000 Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) Injuries in the United States each year? It is one of the most common types of Knee injuries among active people between 15 to 45 years old. It comprises around 40 percent of all sports injuries. It’s a very serious type of injury, too. When you sprain or tear your ACL, you lose the stability in your knee joint, causing the knee to often give way and buckle. Your knee then swells and becomes too painful for you to even stand. Nearly 30,000 of those patients go on to get reconstruction surgery that costs between $17,000-$25,000 (average cost of an ACL reconstruction surgery in the UK is £6,000) to repair their damaged ligaments.
