The economics of a national anterior cruciate ligament injury prevention program for amateur football players: a Markov model analysis

Description

Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) ruptures are among the most devastating injuries for football players at any playing level, and are associated with high costs for health systems, insurance companies, and sporting organisations. A study in 2023 estimated that the annual cost of ACL reconstructions for amateur soccer players in Australia was $69 623 211. In New Zealand, annual cruciate ligament injury‐associated insurance costs increased by 127% during 2007–2020.
