SteelersFanMD Posted August 14, 2017 Author Share Posted August 14, 2017 What I am trying to figure out is what NFL team (out of the 32 in the NFL) have had the most players with a torn ACL injury. If anyone wants to take a guess, all I have to say is, "Go for it." There is no right or wrong answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JBURGE Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 I am very confused by this thread. I will guess the Bears since they are very old Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunter2_1 Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 But it's also one you can come back from and be just as good, if not better. E.G Peterson and Gronk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are the new surgically repaired knees not stronger than before? I thought I read that somewhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteelersFanMD Posted August 14, 2017 Author Share Posted August 14, 2017 I would not know how many players from a particular NFL team have had a torn ACL since this particular type of injury has become common in not just football, but basketball and baseball as well (I don't think a torn ACL has occurred in hockey) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I for one am partial to removing the ACL from the players so they can't be torn. Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

squire12 Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 ACL tears are more easily diagnosed in the last 10-20 years vs 40-50 years ago. There very well may not be more of them occurring, just more easily diagnosed. In todays NFL and sports overall, just about any acute injury leads to an MRI...which is the gold standard for diagnosing ACL tears. Years ago, there were a lot less MRI's done. Think of your uncle's "trick knee" from his HS playing days. That was likely an ACL tear, not diagnosed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
