Article Synopsis
- ACL tears are common injuries in NFL players, with a long recovery time and often associated with other injuries detected through MRI.
- A study reviewed 191 MRI scans of ACL injuries between 2015-2019, finding that 94.8% had bone bruises, 89% had additional knee injuries (including meniscal tears in 70% of cases), and 71% showed other ligament damage.
- Most ACL injuries in this study were non-contact (79%), but contact injuries were more likely to involve concurrent injuries like MCL tears.
