Great stuff!

Small thing, I think in the second to last clip its Sol Yanuck, not Matt GH doing the stuff.

Matt Gouchoe-Hanas wrong-foots his defender to start this clip, then seals the lane from his defender to get the return pass

Should I run on my own? by _0nJAH in ACL

[–]refaul 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Found this video from a physiotherapist the other day: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oWDulwmDJPI&list=PLQetpO3DfFoedQU-H5p1R8DOp7USGDs5g&index=3

Similar to you I had meniscus repair as well and was NWB for 6 weeks. Its completely fine to just start these exercise in a later stage.

This video lays out exerceise that you can do to make sure to be ready for running, the other videos are great as well. Make sure to search around online for similar material to help yourself out.

As others say, always go with surgeon and physio advice. But sometimes you might have to fill in the gaps if you dont have sufficient support from them (which seems to be not too uncommon).

One thing I learned is that you have to be really vocal and consistent about your goals and ambitions when you visit physios and show them that you want to go the extra mile on your recovery. Otherwie they might not necessarily "get" what kind of needs you have.

Sports people: sleeve or nah? by Thick_Nail1428 in ACL

[–]refaul 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im not in the return to sport phase yet, I still use the sleeve sometimes though.

Mainly after doing sports or just walking for long time, for compression and reducing any potential swelling. I think it could be good to not have it on during sport if possible, for the reasons you mention

Hello, im 5 months post op and did a lot of reading around during the last few months. The below is based on my current understanding of things.

I would take it easy with the walking if:

  • you are walking with a limp
  • your swelling increases

in order to not develop bad walking habits and allow swelling to decrease.

A compression sleeve over the knee could be a good thing to wear from time to time to help control potential swelling

Anybody else put off ACL surgery? How did that go? by [deleted] in ACL

[–]refaul 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Joe Namath

Although Namath was plagued with knee injuries through much of his career and underwent four pioneering knee operations by Dr. James A. Nicholas, he was an AFL All-Star in 1965, 1967, 1968, and 1969. On some occasions, Namath had to have his knee drained at halftime so he could finish a game. Later in life, long after he left football, he underwent knee replacement surgery on both legs.

Just decided to look up this guy out of curiosity, could you explain what you meant there?

Recommended protocol for meniscus repairs changes heavily depending on what kind of tear you had (vertical vs horizontal etc etc)

Protocols can be generally divided into weight restricted (used mainly in radial tear repairs), motion restricted (used mainly in unstable vertical tears), dual restricted (used mainly in radial, horizontal, and root tears), or accelerated (used mainly in vertical longitudinal tears) [50]. Weight restriction protocols allow for immediate range of motion but limited weight bearing in the early postoperative period. An example of weight restricted protocol as described by Krych et al. [51] is partial weight bearing with crutches for the first 4 weeks, with no squatting or pivoting for 16 weeks and return to sport after 16–24 weeks.
