Here are some highlights from the recent American Orthopedic Society for Sports Medicine meeting American Orthopaedic Society for Sports Medicine recently held in Boston, Massachusetts:

Improving the biology of soft tissue and cartilage repair is still a hot topic. Scott Rodeo from HSS in New York reported the beneficial effects of using leukocyte-poor platelet rich plasma (PRP) formed into a clot to assist with meniscal repair. Pulsed Electromagnetic Fields may be a future option.

Drs LaPrade and Provencher in Vail presented a novel technique involving sutures around the outside of the meniscus which may improve the results after meniscus root repair.

A prospective study from the Stability Study Group which involved a six center prospective randomized trial on 618 high risk patients with ACL tears younger than 25 years of age, showed that adding a lateral extra-articular soft tissue procedure in addition to a hamstring ACL reconstruction reduced the clinical failure at two years post surgery from 40 to 25% equating to a relative risk reduction of 40%. High risk patients were considered those with very loose knees (high grade laxity), desire to return to contact pivoting sport, and generalized ligament laxity.

Millions of people saw Klay Thompson devastating left knee ACL injury as he landed during the last three minutes of the third quarter of the NBA on ESPN finals. As a sports medicine surgeon, the question often arises: is it possible to completely prevent an ACL injury?

Simple answer, no. However, it is possible to substantially lower your odds. This requires three building blocks: (1) optimizing core function and overall flexibility, (2) maximizing muscle strength of individual muscle groups, and (3) maybe the most important one, sport specific training - improving the way all the muscle groups work together in a synergistic manner to maintain the ideal balance, form, agility, and speed that is right for your sport. This has to be balanced with a recovery strategy including deep sleep and diet that fits the athlete.

Many of the olympic, college, and professional athletes I have had the privilege to work with over the years know this already. Thanks to some amazing physical therapists, trainers, nutritionists and coaches who work tirelessly with them, these concepts are dialed in.

There is no formula that works for every athlete. Consider that ACL injuries usually happen in the first 50 milliseconds after landing. The tear happens before you realize it has happened. Any kind of injury prevention program needs to consider the specific demands of the sport.

Years ago, I spent some time with the US Womens Soccer team. Some days they had intense strength or conditioning routines. Other days, they worked on sport specific training. I was amazed at how creative their training exercises were. The exercises combined core stabilization with endurance, single and double legged jump/lands at the same time handling a soccer ball.

So once your strength, flexibility, conditioning are where they need to be, focus on training specific to the skill sets of your sport. It helps to have someone to give feedback, especially when it comes to landing and maintaining proper balance, keeping your joints in the proper alignment to minimize the risk of knee injury.
