There is wide variability in the proportion of youth considered recovered following concussion depending on the recovery definition, emphasizing the need for a multimodal assessment of recovery Children's Hospital CIRPatCHOP #MindsMatter Online here: ow.ly/Uehv50QruXK

Only 10% of patients with a concomitant non-surgically treated #MCL injury return to preinjury level of sport one year after #ACLR despite no differences in muscle strength and PROs as compared to isolated ACLR. Susanne Beischer Read here: ow.ly/3OU950Qrv3P

Shear Wave Elastography is a non-invasive imaging modality that can be used 2 evaluate tendon stiffness & elasticity, as seen in female collegiate athletes with higher baseline Achilles tendon stiffness compared 2 nonathletes. @UAV_Ortho Brian Werner Link: ow.ly/t0ow50Qrveu

Female athletes who experience a second ACL injury within 2 years of #ACLR have ⬆️ psychological readiness and RTS sooner than athletes without a second ACL injury. Ryan Zarzycki et al suggest there may be “sweet spot” for psych readiness + RTS. Check it out: ow.ly/GHIl50QrvlZ

Following primary #ACL reconstruction, athletes – particularly females - in different sports demonstrate short term differences in Y-Balance Test functional scores. Return-to-play evaluation should consider such differences. Henry Ellis Read it here: ow.ly/ATea50QrvrQ
