Lurch is having surgery on his ACL.
Statistics show that females are now more than 8 times as likely to tear their ACL than male athletes. Statistics also show that female athletes have a 25% chance of tearing their ACL a second time after having the reconstruction surgery done. Differences between the sexes in hormones, adolescence, ligament dominance and quadriceps dominance, biomechanics, anatomy, asymmetry, and psychology all may contribute to this anomaly. As a result of the increased angle formed by a woman's hips and her knees, the ligaments are constantly under more pressure than a man's.
