We’ll Ask the Question Again? Surgery or Nonoperative Treatment?
by Kyle Harris in Sports Medicine Research (SMR): In the Lab & In the Field
Patients who sustained an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) rupture were more likely to develop secondary meniscal injury and arthritis when compared to a matched cohort. Specifically, those that were treated nonoperatively or with delayed surgery may be more likely to develop secondary meniscal injury, develop arthritis, and be in need of a total knee replacement when compared with those patients treated with early surgery....

The New Norm When Missing SCAT3 Concussion Baseline Scores
by Jane McDevitt in Sports Medicine Research (SMR): In the Lab & In the Field
A clinician needs to recognize that sex, competitive level, and attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder or learning disorder may influence SCAT3 scores.
