ACL Injuries with NFL Players | Orthopedics
 If you're at all a sports fan, or an athlete yourself, you've probably heard of the anterior cruciate ligament.
It's commonly injured.
Now a new study shows what happens to NFL players who are sidelined by their acl's, and it's not good news for players or fans and the owners.
Now, a ligament is a strong piece of connective tissue that connects bone to bone across a joint. The anterior cruciate ligament crosses with the posterior cruciate ligament in the center of the knee.
They control the backward and forward motion of the knee. The ACL in particular restrains excessive forward motion of the knee as well as the inward twisting or rotation of the knee.
In fact, the ACL is frequently injured in severe twisting injuries of the knee or with a sudden stop.
This new research in the American Journal of Sports Medicine looking specifically at ACL injuries in NFL players found those who suffer one of these injuries will likely never be the same player again.
Essentially, total yards and touchdowns were markedly diminished when they returned after surgery. (Read more about ACL Injuries with NFL Players | Orthopedics)

Sports Injuries and Children
Summer is now here, and it’s an opportunity for kids who are involved in one, two, maybe three sports to get a bit of rest. But a lot of kids go year round in their athletics now; it’s one reason for the rise in sports injuries in kids.
More than three and a half million kids under the age of 14 receive medical care for sports injuries each year.
But overuse injuries are responsible for nearly half of all sports injuries in middle and high school students. And experts are saying the problem is getting out of hand.
Jessica Godfrey of the eagles soccer team was forcibly grounded because of an injury earlier this season. “I was trying to get the ball and this really big girl hit my foot and it hurt really bad,” says Jessica. (Read more about Sports Injuries and Children)

Computer Aided Surgery
“It is burning and tingling that is how it feels all the time and then there are other pains where it is shooting pains and you feel like someone is stabbing you,” says Diana Baez.
Diana Baez is about to have computer aided knee surgery that she’s hoping will turn her life around. 51 year old Diana has severe osteoarthritis and has lost significant cartilage in her knee. She’s tried everything from pain-killers to physical therapy, nothing gave her relief. “I can’t deal with this pain anymore.”
Dr. Elton Strauss, Chief of Orthopaedic Trauma at Mount Sinai, will be using global positioning system-like technology to help him operate on Diana’s knee. “In our business if you are off by a millimeter or two degrees it can affect the outcome of the patients. When I am actually looking inside somebody’s leg whether it is the hip or the knee I see the bones I see the ligaments but I don’t know how those bones actually work when the person walks on the leg, crouches down, lies down, gets out of bed does athletic events what this computer does it replicates the function of the patient and also tells me whether or not I have recreated that person’s anatomy,” explains Dr. Strauss.

New Ovarian Cancer Treatment
There’s new hope for ovarian cancer patients. Doctors are saying that giving chemo through the abdomen rather than through the vein should now be the way many ovarian cancer patients are treated.
This is actually an old method to deliver chemo; it dates back fifty years. It delivers the chemo into what’s called the intra-peritoneal area of the abdomen.
The goal is to get the remaining cancer cells after the tumor is surgically removed, in patients like Eleanor Lewis. Eleanor is looking for a way to lessen the significance of time. (Read more about New Ovarian Cancer Treatment)

SIDS Recommendations
It’s perhaps the worst thing parents could experience: finding their newborn baby has quietly died while sleeping overnight.
Sadly, this happens too often as a result of SIDS--sudden infant death syndrome. Although some specific cases have been understood, the cause of many cases of SIDS is still unknown. SIDS is the most common cause of infant deaths beyond the first month of life in the U.S.
“Every day is something new, the smiles, the giggles…his personality is developing now. It’s so much fun,” says Cori Attali, clearly enjoying every aspect of being a new mom to five-and-a-half month old Jack. (Read more about SIDS Recommendations)

AMAZING GENE TREATMENT
Doctors have developed a lifesaving treatment for a rare form of muscular dystrophy called Pompe disease.
Pompe is an inherited disorder--both parents have to have the defective gene, which is not a common thing. Pompe is a rare and fatal nerve and muscle disorder caused by the lack of an enzyme which breaks down sugar—glycogen--in the body.
The glycogen deposits in the muscle fibers instead, and destroys them (Read more about AMAZING GENE TREATMENT)

CATCHER'S MITTS CUSHIONING
They’re the guys on the baseball diamond that get the brunt of the bangup: catcher’s get run over, they destroy their knees by crouching all day long. And now, there’s evidence that they suffer significant hand trauma, perhaps, because their gloves aren’t protecting them enough.
It’s interesting in that modern catcher’s mitts have less padding than gloves used prior to the 1960’s. The glove is more flexible, allows a better handle on the ball, an easier release if the runner is going. But the downside is that perhaps, it’s putting the catchers at risk for short term and long term hand injury. (Read more about CATCHER'S MITTS CUSHIONING)
