Meta-analyses of 25,000 athletes shows the massive benefit of ACL injury prevention programs.
|
|
Anyone who plays sports knows how devastating an ACL rupture can be.
To avoid the negative outcomes associated with it, a host of ACL injury preventions have been released over the last few years. But how truly effective are these programs?
In a recent meta-analyses published in the American Journal of Sports Medicine, including 18 articles and over 25,000 athletes, the evidence suggests: very effective.
Over 50% reduction in the risk of ACL injury.

With aging populations around the world, geriatric fracture care is part of the future of orthopaedics.
Dr. Julie Switzer traces how personal connection, surgical purpose, and systems-level thinking shaped her career in caring for older adults.
The discussion reframes fracture management as more than operative fixation, emphasizing collaboration with therapists, geriatricians, hospitalists, nutritionists, and community partners.
Her message is clear: improving outcomes requires surgeons to look beyond the OR, embrace secondary fracture prevention, and train the next generation to see geriatric care as a core responsibility.
