Mayo Clinic Orthopedics and Sports Medicine in Minneapolis provides what Kelechi Okoroha, M.D., an orthopedic surgeon and sports medicine specialist, calls an elevated hip experience. Among other conditions, it offers medical and surgical treatment for hip impingement — which occurs when the hip joint’s ball and socket do not articulate properly — and cause secondary damage.
Arthroscopic Bankart repair (ABR) is a common surgical approach for addressing anterior glenohumeral instability (GHI) in adolescent athletes. However, this population is notably susceptible to recurrent shoulder instability, often necessitating further intervention.
Anterior shoulder instability (ASI) is a prevalent issue, particularly among young and active individuals, often necessitating surgical intervention to restore stability and function.
In the National Football League (NFL), where player performance and durability are crucial to long-term success, managing shoulder instability events effectively can significantly impact an athlete's career trajectory.
Following anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR), quadriceps muscle atrophy can impede rehabilitation progress and delay return to activity. A recent study published in the Orthopedic Journal of Sports Medicine by Dr. Kelechi Okoroha and colleagues explore the impact of a novel approach - blood flow restriction (BFR) therapy - on postoperative quadriceps strength in ACLR patients.
