Renowned surgeon James Andrews stresses seriousness of youth sports injuries • Overuse injuries have increased 10-fold in young athletes since 2000. The number of younger athletes having ACL and Tommy John surgeries continues to soar. • Improper technique, ill-fitting equipment, training errors and coach/parental pressure contribute to youth sports injuries. • There should be pitch counts for youth baseball and softball. The notion that softball’s underhand motion is natural and limits injuries is a myth. • Minimum time for a youth/teen athlete to return to play after an ACL surgery is nine months. The chance of an injury to the same knee or the other knee rises significantly with earlier return to play. https://lnkd.in/eCr9_NVR

Got an email today from another PT colleague - "Dan, settle a debate in ourc clinic...can you do long arc knee extensions on acute ACL reconstructions or not?" YES...and you should! Depends on a few factors to be clear, but here, I have a high school soccer player who is 2 weeks post-op with a quad tendon graft. She is actually supine (didn't show it completely to protect her identity) - this is one of the nuances of QT grafts - need less trunk flexion to get the rectus. Lots of recent literature supports doing long arc knee extensions, contradicting many of the studies in the late 90's. No resistance today, but will progress to that as well as using NMES w/ BFR. I'll be talking about the various pearls with different ACL grafts as part of my All Things Lower Extremity course coming up on October 19th in Overland Park, KS. Approved for 8 CEU's in KS!
