Article Synopsis
- The study aims to assess the impact of ACL injuries on performance in elite ski jumpers following ACL reconstruction (ACLR), as existing data is limited.
- Researchers analyzed World Cup results from 18 elite ski jumpers (11 males, 7 females) who sustained ACL injuries since the 2009-2010 season, comparing their competition levels before and after surgery.
- Findings revealed a decline in average placement post-injury, with most athletes returning to competition; however, only a small number regained their pre-injury performance levels.
