Bucking the ACL trend
NorthJersey.com reports:
MarQuette Burgess unfortunately has seen his fair share of ACLs.
Throughout the years, the Kennedy girls basketball coach has had several of his top players go down with the devastating knee injury, including his daughter, Ashlee, in the 2003-04 season.
This season, the list grew longer when Erika Brown heard a pop in her left knee as she was going up for a layup during an AAU game in July.
“Unfortunately, we’ve had to deal with injuries before,” Burgess said. “This is part of the game and we have to deal with it.”
Still, Burgess said he wasn’t expecting to experience life without the 5-foot-8 junior point guard until after she graduates in 2013.
But there’s a chance Brown could shock everyone by making it back onto the court this season.

Coping with life after ACL surgery
Indiana News Center Reports:
In 2009, Nicole Biggs, then a sophomore at Carroll High School, tore her ACL in a soccer match against Bishop Dwenger. Today, she prepares to lead the Chargers to the state tournament and talks about her recovery.
Biggs tore her anterior cruciate ligament in her right knee after jumping and landing incorrectly. It was a non-contact injury but one that could be heard around the field.
“Everyone on the sideline heard it pop. It swelled up immediately. I could not walk on it, so we knew something was wrong right away.”
The ACL is one of four major ligaments in the knee and when it comes to sports related injuries is perhaps the most commonly torn ligament. In female athletes, according to Dr. Greg Sassmannshausen of Fort Wayne Orthopaedics, the occurrence rate is even higher.
