ACL Injury - An Epidemic in Women's Football?

In women's football, the headlines seem to be dominated by ACL injury, to the point some are labelling it an epidemic. But is this the case, and can InternalBrace repair surgery offer hope to players for a faster recovery? The Mackay Clinic explores this subject with leading sports surgeon Professor Gordon Mackay, who sees many sportspeople who need surgery after ACL injury. We also talk to several professional female players about their own experiences of ACL injury, surgery, and recovery.

When ACL injury strikes it doesn't matter if you are Rachel Corsie (Scotland and Aston Villa) or young up-coming player Phoebe Murray (Aberdeen U18) - the effect can be devastating. We take a deep dive to look at the impact the injury had on them as well as players, Laura Darroch (Greenock Morton) and Lauren Perry (Montrose).
Each talks about their different surgery experiences, from InternalBrace Repair to traditional ACL reconstructions. We take a balanced look and the players discuss their recoveries and return to sport.
We talk to a global research expert in ACL injuries in sport, Dr Kate Webster, we also discuss why women seem to be more susceptible to this injury and what can be done prevention-wise.
