Only 11% non-elite ACLR pts pass RTS discharge criteria at 9mths post-op (Welling et al, 2018). Similarly Toole et al (2017) showed 14% at 8mths post-op in non-elites. Non-elites shouldn't even flirt with the idea of RTS <12Mths AND must pass discharge criteria #Physio#ACLchat

Was lucky enough to be in the best seat in the house for both @DrKateWebster & Dr Pete D'Alessandro's ACL presentations! Big take home points: 65% non-elite return to pre-injuy sport, 30% under 18yrs sustain 2nd ACL injury, RTS must be CRITERIA-BASED! #ACLchat#Physio
25% of people still have pain 6/12 after lateral ankle sprain & 30% report regular symptoms up to 7 years after initial injury (Gribble et al, 2016). To ⬇️ reinjury risk, intensive period of exercises + taping/bracing for 6/12 is recommended. More at https://t.co/GfxMY5KATA
