ACL injuries seem to be increasingly common. In college football, the risk of tearing the ACL and needing to undergo reconstruction in a four-year career may be as high as 16 percent. High-risk sports are football, basketball, soccer and volleyball. Females are four times more likely to have an ACL tear than males are.
