UHealth HSS Orthopedics experts Dr. Lasun Oladeji and Dr. Kristopher Paultre led an informative discussion on activity-related knee injuries, with a focus on ACL tears commonly associated with youth sports and running. The session covered the signs and symptoms of ACL injuries, who may be most at risk, and the latest treatment approaches, including when surgery may or may not be necessary. The experts also discussed non-surgical management options, what patients can expect from ACL reconstruction surgery and recovery, and strategies to help reduce the risk of injury through prevention and training techniques.
