ANTERIOR CRUCIATE LIGAMENT INJURIES IN SKIING ARE COMMON The knee joint is the most frequently affected anatomical location of all ski injuries (approximately 30%) and almost all skiers suffering from knee injuries that require hospitalisation are diagnosed with a tear of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL). Based on an estimated hospitalisation rate of 50%, about 120 000 recreational alpine skiers worldwide may incur a new ACL injury annually. Measures that prevent only 1% of these injuries could reduce ACL injuries by 1200 per year.
