Dr. Sterett advises, "By diversifying training activities, runners can reduce the strain on specific muscle groups and joints, thereby minimizing the risk of overuse injuries.”

Dr. Sterett explains, "Knee popping can arise from harmless, physiological mechanism. Common causes of knee popping encompasses a variety of factors. Soft tissue interactions, such as the movement of tendons, ligaments, or menisci can produce audible popping sensations.”

Dr. Sterett explains that, “Knee dislocations have the potential to cause arthritis, primarily due to the significant trauma and damage to the joint structures.” Knee dislocations occur when the bones of the knee joint are forced out of alignment, often as a result of high-impact accidents or sports injury.

This was a tough winter, and some of you didn’t escape without tearing the dreaded ACL.

When you walk or run, you are actually placing two to eight times your body weight on the knee joint. It is the job of the meniscus to absorb this weight and distribute it evenly throughout the joint.

You’ve torn your ACL. So is your season over? Find out in this series of videos with The Knee Doc.

Unfortunately, tearing your meniscus while playing golf is not that uncommon. Here's why...

Don’t worry. In this day and age, an ACL Tear is merely a setback, not a career-ender.

Wha are the types of knee surgeries? Here are some of the more common ones.

Confused by the difference between the meniscus and articular cartilage? You're not alone. Let's clear it up.

A torn meniscus is damage to the "cushion cartilage" of the knee. Left untreated, it can lead to arthritis.

Are you loose-jointed? Dr. Sterett talks about why you have a 5x greater risk of suffering an ACL tear.

I learned so much from Richard. We worked together for 18 years, so this is in no way an exhaustive list, but it will give you an idea of why Dr. Steadman was considered one of, if not the best, surgeons in the sports medicine world. 

When we see these bony changes on MRI, we perform a procedure, by injecting a bone graft substitute into the bone to seal up the insufficiency problem.

You aren't alone in wondering what the chances of re-tearing the ACL are. In fact, I get the question so much that I decided to put a video together answering the question for you!

Since ACL Reconstruction is always a timely topic, I thought I'd delve into it here in video form for all of you visual learners.

You’ve injured your ACL playing your favorite sport, but you want to keep doing the activities you love without upping the risk of your knee giving out again-- or putting your meniscus and cartilage at risk. So what comes next? Well, it’s time to talk about ACL reconstruction. 

In the past, it wasn’t uncommon to hear an ACL injury referred to as “career-ending.”  Not anymore.  And while you certainly still hear ACL injuries referred to as “season-ending”,  recent evidence and research tells us that you can come back from the injury performing at an even higher level.

One of the big concerns that active people have after they have surgery on the Anterior Cruciate Ligament concerns how long it'll take to return to full speed. Many of the folks I see enjoy a high level of performance, either in recreational or professional sense, and my goal is to get them back to the same level (or in some cases, performing better) than before.
