@gregthephysio Be cautious basing any decision purely on MR reports. Can be structurally sound and Lachman negative. Or vice versa with a "partial" ACL.
What makes a champion?
An analysis of over 6,000 athletes found distinct differences between those who made it to world-class versus those who didn't progress from child star.
Similar research has been done on one-hit wonders and Nobel Laureates.
Here's what they found:

Come for the sexy Achilles tendon diagram, stay for Table 1's management prescription variables (Hint: get the load magnitude right)
@AdamMeakins Suggest that evaluation of healing on MRI is a poor surrogate of functional capacity. Often see ACLs that appear intact on MR with obvious Lachman positive and functionally incompetent in surgery. Non op is an excellent option... but not because the ACL heals functionally.

Where you told that ‘kissing knees’ or knee valgus increases the risk of ACL injury? 🤔
Well it just ain’t that simple! 😲
Knee position on single leg squat or drop jumps did not predict future ACL injury in 880 athletes!

Training for a marathon can take a variety of approaches. Here is @JessTrengove’s 6 weeks leading into her PB at the Perth Marathon. Thanks for your trust in the process Jess.
