Young adults receiving soft-tissue quadriceps tendon autograft for ACL reconstruction did as well or better on functional testing 6 mo. postop than those getting a bone-tendon-bone graft, a study at the joint AANA/AOSSM meeting reported. Read in #AAOSNow: https://t.co/w2wNeHUaHy
Our fellowship-trained orthopaedic and sports medicine experts at @uamshealth offer state-of-the-art non-surgical, surgical, and rehabilitative care for athletes of all ages and skill levels—from young competitors to weekend warriors to college and professional players.
@TrevorKeyser5 No. He should be able to come back and be ready for next year. The open fracture (bone coming through the skin) is the most concerning part. He is undergoing surgery tonight to clean the fracture and probably fix with plates and screws.
UAMS along with hospitals across Central AR, temporarily postponed & rescheduled appropriate elective surgeries & procedures. Dr. C. Lowry Barnes, Professor & Chair of the Dept of Orthopaedic Surgery, explains why this is the right thing to do for the health & safety of everyone.
If you have extra Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) such as masks & gloves & want to make sure it gets into the right hands visit our partners at @uamshealth. They have a collection bin at the front door lobby of the hospital at 4301 W. Markham. #COVID19Ark

@DavidCrook23@JustinAcri7@Wess_Moore@Cweaver1037 Haha. Unlike the Astros I don’t need to cheat, since I know what’s coming in surgery. Prior to surgery, I already have a plan and surgery consists of fixing the problem.
In partnership with the @NFL, Past President Dr. @DreznerJon has produced this video on the recognition and management of Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) in athletes.

@Tdkeyser2 Majority of the time hips can be reduced(put back in place) in the ER. If the hip can’t be reduced then surgery is required to reduce it. Tua’s hip was reduced at the stadium. He underwent surgery for the acetabular (socket) fracture.
Tua sustained a hip dislocation and posterior wall fracture (broken hip socket) and likely has cartilage and labral damage to the socket. He will probably need surgery and will be out for the rest of the season. Horrible injury for a great athlete.
@BasilHoag There is high likelihood of vascular injury with any hip dislocation. The vascular injury is the reason for possible avascular necrosis (AVN). The risk of AVN is 4.6-40% per multiple studies. Since his hip was reduced immediately, Tua’s risk should be on the lower end
@tgart84@ZacheryWall82 Hip dislocations can be difficult to reduce. Smaller posterior wall acetabular(socket) fractures increase the difficulty. Often reduction is possible immediately due to the lack of muscle spasm. The longer the joint is dislocated, the more the muscles spasm & fight the reduction.
