Studies have found that young women tear their ACLs more than young men, but figuring out why that's the case is complicated.
The Women’s World Cup has been airing on FOX, but in this tournament, some of the sports biggest stars are sidelined because of a knee injury: a torn ACL or anterior cruciate ligament.
"I’ve been playing soccer since I was 3 years old," Perrine said. "My whole high school career I dreamed of playing in college. And I got the opportunity to play at Chandler Gilbert.""I’ve known hundreds" Perrine said, referring to girls who have torn their ACLs. "I’ve known girls from 8th grade year up until now.""My mom comes up to me and she was like listen, ‘I got a phone call. It’s your ACL.’ I just started crying," Perrine said.
During the 2023 World Cup, stars from England, Canada, France, and the Netherlands are all out rehabbing their knee. Fox 10’s Ellen McNamara asked Dr. Leah Brown if there is a specific answer about why this is happening.Dr. Brown is an orthopedic surgeon with Banner Health. She says more girls are playing sports which means more injuries, but there are other factors that could contribute to the disparity.
