Recently, there's been chatter about tech heavyweights Oracle and Microsoft teaming up to buy TikTok. The White House is involved, trying to find a way for ByteDance to keep a small part of the company, while other aspects like its algorithm, data collecting, and software updates would be managed by
Scientists are curious about how well two different tests measure the breakdown of collagen in urine after knee surgery. This study focused on patients who had their anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstructed. The tests, known as ELISAs, are used to detect the levels of a specific collagen fragm
Young athletes are seeing more and more anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries. This has led to an increase in surgeries known as ACL reconstructions. To prevent graft failures and boost stability, a new method called the single antegrade sling graft (SASG) is being used. This technique combines
Nine months after having their anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstructed, female athletes often face hidden biomechanical challenges. A study used a kinetic enhanced tuck jump assessment (TJA) to probe these hidden issues. The TJA helps spot risks linked to ACL injuries by evaluating landing fo
In recent years, doctors have started doing something extra during anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstructions. They're adding a procedure called anterolateral ligament reconstruction (ALLR) or lateral extra-articular tenodesis (LET). This involves fixing a ligament on the outer side of the kne
Have you ever wondered what the "T" in TGL stands for? Well, it's a bit of a mystery! TGL is a new golf league started by famous golfers Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy, along with sports executive Mike McCarley. While "G" for golf and "L" for league make sense, the "T" has everyone scratching their he
What if going under the knife once wasn't enough to bounce back from a knee injury? A new study looked into how dual surgery—fixing the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and adding anterolateral ligament reconstruction (ALLR)—compared to just mending the ACL. They checked how quickly athletes returne
Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) repairs can be tricky because the body's own fluids can eat away at the new tissue, causing it to fail and make the joint worse. Researchers found a way to protect the new ACL tissue by creating a strong, long-lasting shield. They mixed collagen and polyvinyl alcohol
When you tear your anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), it's not just one part of your knee that suffers. Often, other structures in your knee get hurt too. These are called secondary stabiliser injuries. Some common ones are medial meniscus ramp lesions (MMRLs), lateral meniscus posterior root tears (
When athletes come back from ankle surgery, they need to do certain tests to see if they're ready to play sports again. One important test is the drop vertical jump (DVJ). Scientists wanted to know if adding mental tasks while doing this jump could help find athletes at risk of hurting their ankle a
