    Data Nerds: Long-Term Strength Delay Post ACLR

    Data Nerds is a new series that we are introducing which will be alternating weeks with our usual journal club podcast. In this series, we share cases from our clinical practice where we utilize objective testing to inform our decision making, with most attention paid to the results of the tests and interpretation of the information. Therefore, this works best when you can see the numbers. Luckily, these are uploaded to our YouTube channel! Check us out at https://www.youtube.com/@ReadingRehab. Pat takes us through a case of a middle age female 15 months post-ACLR who still demonstrates significant quad strength deficits.

    Episode 117: Rehab Protocols Following Osteochondral Transplantation

    We're following up on our discussion from last week about conservative management of osteochondral lesions to discuss post-operative rehabilitation following osteochondral transplantation. Big takeaways from our conversation: due to the generally a wide range in timelines following these surgeries, size and location of the lesion could be a better prognostic indicator than type of surgical graft.
