The focus of our Player Health & Wellness video this month is: ACL Injuries in Soccer Players
- Did you feel or hear a “pop” in your knee?
- Did your knee feel like it gave out or buckled?
- Were you unable to continue playing immediately?
- Did your knee swell within a few hours (not the next day)?
- Are you avoiding putting full weight on that leg
If you answered “yes” to one or more of these questions—there is a high suspicion for an ACL injury
Our video interview this month features: Dr. Patrick Saunders
Dr. Saunders is a pediatric orthopedic surgeon who specializes in sports medicine at Phoenix Children’s Hospital
