Musculoskeletal injuries to the lower extremities are common among female college student-athletes (SA) in sports that require hopping, pivoting, and running.
Episode 1 starts off with a quick discussion on COVID-19 and its impact on sports before moving into our main topic of ACL injuries. We’ll chat about some of the COVID protocols that were put in place to ensure the safety of all our athletes during their seasons, as well as optimizing a safe return to sports after recovering from COVID-19 infection. After wrapping up our COVID discussion, we’ll then move on to the fun stuff: ACL injuries! We have three great articles for you that really contribute well the conversation on how to best prevent and manage ACL injuries. We’re excited to have Dr. Mary Mulcahey join us for this discussion. Dr. Mulcahey is an orthopedic sports medicine surgeon at Tulane University where she serves as the director of the Women’s Sports Medicine Program and is a team physician for numerous high school, collegiate and professional sports teams.
