This is the staggering truth! Injury prevention is key. Surgery is probably the best way for many to stay active but we have to set realistic expectations with our young patients and their parents regarding rtp.1 ACL tear is half the problem of 2 ACL tears...

Interesting study showing almost a 5% rate of infections after ACL surgery!? Could this have something to do with additional extraarticular (ALL) surgery? Seems pretty high.

I am not convinced that it does after reading the literature. It’s just makes intuitively sense but maybe it is that uneven or unbalanced movement patterns that can be sustained while unfatigued play a larger role. My challenge to you: teach me!

That is exactly the point I am making. Is it a particular movement imbalance or pattern that at full power is dangerous at best but leads to injury if additional perturbation etc happens. But.. who might kayak19 be?

Today, my health system took a big step: Notified staff that they're adopting the model described here, with face masks at all times & a health check each shift for even mild ill symptoms. Effective Wednesday. Kudos to @PartnersNews Brigham and Women's Hospital MassGeneral News
