Nationwide incidence of anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction in higher-level athletes in Sweden: a cohort study from the Swedish National Knee Ligament Registry linked to six sports organisations
Female athletes had higher ACL-R IRs than males and second-division female athletes had higher ACL-R IRs than highest-division female athletes. Lower ACL-R IRs were observed in floorball and ice hockey compared with football for both sexes. The remaining sports had ACL-R IRs similar to football, except basketball where rates were lower for male athletes.
