Compare the use of ACL reconstruction and physical therapy in Black and White people and people with different socioeconomic status after ACL injury. Black people and people with lower socioeconomic status are at higher risk of long-term disability related to arthritis that is common after ACL injury. The above treatments may reduce long-term disability, but use of these treatments may be different across racial and socioeconomic groups. The project will also look at factors related to treatment use in Black people with ACL injury. Identifying these factors will help us figure out how to improve treatment use in Black people, who are often underrepresented in clinical research. *This study is a collaboration with the UNC Sports Medicine Institute*
