Older adults are remaining active longer and continuing during later stages of life to participate in sports and activities that involve pivoting on 1 foot. The rate of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tears is increasing in people older than 40 years of age, which has caused a concomitant increase in the rate of surgical reconstruction.
