In Italy they usually use a post-ACL injury return to play protocol that lasts like 4 months and they get constant re-injuries... Its really weird

Definitely a difference between someone like that and a player who has one specific problem like Jodi. Don't recall him having other injury problems so IF someone can sort his ACLs out for him he stands a good chance!

Can't remember but didn't Owen end up with all sorts of injuries?

I would certainly try it! It would mean less time out than a full post-ACL surgical protocol (4-6 months compared to 9-12 months off the top of my head). Could prove to be a complete waste of time and would be risky but his surgical history makes it worth a try imo

One of the problems is you need to take tissue from elsewhere to remodel into a new ACL every time you do surgery - first port of call is usually from the knee cap as that is the most reliable, if that fails they usually use a hamstring tendon... No idea what they try after that but each site...

Plenty unfortunately

Its a topic with a lot of grey area and not as many solid answers as we would like in the medical field... but here are a few thoughts presented in a pretty scatty manner: Unfortunately there isn't too much concrete evidence on ACL injuries to pinpoint exactly why we are getting so many. I...

Slightly off topic but imo the league cup needs to be binned off and a chamions league place awarded to the winner of the FA cup. Having two cup competitions only detracts from the prestigeof each, and Im sick of cup games feeling like a chore rather than an inexplicable magic aura

Ahhhhhhh I see! Yeah its roughly 50% likely to lead to some degree of osteoarthritis at some point then... Just to clarify osteoarthritis is what people usually refer to as just 'arthritis' - I should have made that clearer. But yeah as I say with any kind of arthritis its usually worst in...

For mild to moderate osteoarthritis general exercise is the way forward, but for severe osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis you need a slightly more considered exercise approach alongside pharmacalogical interventions 👍

Im a physio and this is the best online resource I have recently seen for arthritis: https://www.howardluksmd.com/knee/arthritis-knee/exercise-improves-knee-arthritis-pain/ Are you sure its arthritis though? One of the key characteristics of osteoarthritis is morning pain and stiffness, so if...

We are miles off Cat 1 anyway... Would take promotion to the prem or a takeover to raise the funds, and a few years of building and recruiting to get there

Yeah Dan Laff - he's a third year scholar who has been out for a long time, largely with a knee injury, hence why this was his first 90 mins in a couple of years. He's a Toni Kroos style CM whos intelligence and technical ability is really highly thought of at the academy so would be great to...

The time-frame mentioned tallies with MCL but its fairly rare to injure it in isolation due to an awkward fall... It usually happens in combination with ACL and meniscus during an awkward fall or as a result of impact to the outside of the knee

Im expecting most clubs to have big injury problems this year - if not already then a few weeks into the season. Periodisation has been all over the place due to covid and you can always expect plenty of muscle and tendon problems cropping up when play returns without the gradual stepping up of...

Falling awkwardly and hearing a snap could be a few things depending on the mechanism but Id say pretty likely to be an an ACL if scans have confirmed ligament implication... Interesting that Xmas has been mentioned though as usual ACL rehab time is 9-12 months + a while in the U23s before...

Surprised me when I heard it tbf! Info comes from inside the club although the source wasnt 100% sure at the time

I heard a lil while back that the away kit will remain the same for the coming season (apart from sponsor I suppose)

Presumably Thompson or Ponticelli would get similar stick for wanting to try to prove themselves here at their hometown club rather than drop down to play for a team just promoted to league 1?

Have to admit I dont actually... Get it...? Is the background song relevant and whats the footage from?
