@deln_ioann @Davembmd No cast or Toddler boot, no follow up needed

[Randon Hall, MD @theinjurysource]

@deln_ioann Helps to know if this is immediate post cast or further out follow up, I like the wedge here too if not to far out. Will remodel from its current position but if still fresh, may want to repeat in a week.

[Randon Hall, MD @theinjurysource]

@hjluks Have seen similar with first rib fracture, not the sensitivity. Was there any prior injury here? If young athlete has hypersensitivity to touch, pain out of proportion to expected, consider CRPS or Amplified Pain Syndome, esp if can’t find another reason. Try desensitization?

[Randon Hall, MD @theinjurysource]

Takeaway: Have a plan to manage your sleep, nutrition, injury prevention and mindset in highly competitive sports. AZ HS state champ played 31 games this year & then kids will do travel/AAU. Most HS athletes have no plan to manage performance 🧐. We do https://t.co/QH0wVX5DhG

I'm the all time leader in Big 10 games played. 5 years. 157 High Major D1 basketball games (Started 144). Here are 100 things I've learned through it ALL:

(Touches on big10 coaches, lessons, media these days, tips for players/parents etc)

I could extend the list to 10 or 20, but the point is if you work with young athletes and you haven’t even addressed these issues, let alone worked on them, there is an enormous potential left untapped.

No amount of sports practice solves these issues 🤨

Here are the top 5 things I’ve learned/confirmed doing deep dive performance consultations on young athletes for about year @ https://t.co/HbGTkh2viu

5. By far I’ve been surprised at the degree of mindset issues young athletes have including anxiety, emotional lability & lack of self confidence that affect performance. Moreover, none of the athletes have an actual plan to manage these challanges.

@kairyssdal I’ve always wondered if the Fed has to be so precise about how they raise or lower rates to orchestrate this so-called elusive “soft landing”, why do they only use 25 basis point intervals? Why not take a more precise approach to an already blunt tool?

[Randon Hall, MD @theinjurysource]

Interesting article in the morning @nytimes by @JennyVrentas. I cover sports regularly & “danger being at the root of any given play” is not specific to pro football. Commotio cordis is more traditionally seen in baseball or lacrosse. Football is popular but risk lies everywhere!

[Randon Hall, MD @theinjurysource]

@Davembmd @deln_ioann Yup and Yup

[Randon Hall, MD @theinjurysource]

@chadasplund @4athleteshealth The culture of all youth sports has to change, it’s not sustainable. Trying to replicate everything done at the professional level aka “professionalization of amateur sports” does not create pro prospects, it creates stressed, overwhelmed athletes who get injured and burn out.

[Randon Hall, MD @theinjurysource]

@ACLrecoveryCLUB I think more interesting would be to know what part of the season/preseason these occur. Also have to consider that in 2020 the preseason was cancelled and in 2021 there was a 17 game season.

@TrippWright6 @KirkHerbstreit I don’t do medical advice on Twitter for obvious reasons, but generally speaking anterior instability of an ac joint typically does well without intervention.

[Randon Hall, MD @theinjurysource]

Food for thought in the business of college sports, are young athletes ready when fans’ love disappears? https://t.co/RLhmjjOhIh #Sooners @KirkHerbstreit
