In episode 3 of season 9 we’re highlighting the study, “Development of a patient decision aid for children and adolescents following anterior cruciate ligament rupture: an international mixed-methods study” with Mr. Andrew Gamble. You’ll hear him set the stage regarding the topic of management of ACL ruptures, precedence of decision aids in informing patients on other conditions, the specifics on how this study was conducted, specific statements made by those surveyed, the clinical implications and big takeaways
Season 7, Episode 4 with Pascale Granicher: Do athletes benefit from preoperative physical therapy before ACL-reconstruction?
In episode 4 of season 7 of Inside the Science we’re highlighting the study, “Do athletes benefit from preoperative physical therapy before ACL reconstruction?” with Dr. Pascale Granicher. She shares some specifics on what the literature suggests is related to whether an athlete returns to a sport or not, and how factors like psychological factors, knee-specific factors, patient-specific factors, and timing of surgery may impact a return to sport. She also shares any relationship between prehabilitation to a return to sport and her recommended clinical implications and big takeaways.
Season 4, Episode 6 with Corinna Franklin:Prevention of Anterior Cruciate Ligament Rupture in Female Athletes
In episode 6 of season 4 of Inside the Science we’re highlighting the study, “Prevention of Anterior Cruciate Ligament Rupture in Female Athletes” with Dr. Corinna Franklin. You’ll hear her description of the difficulties due to variability in the included studies on ACL prevention programs, her explanation of some of the studies specific components to these programs and findings, the implications and the big takeaways.
