First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study is testing a new, detailed questionnaire to better understand why young athletes tear their ACL. Researchers will ask 200 athletes aged 12 and older about their training habits and how their injury happened. The goal is to identify risk factors that could help prevent these injuries in the future.
