Sports Medicine Team Presents New Research at Annual PRISM Meeting
Aligned with our culture of collaboration through research and education, our team is actively participating in conversations on the safety and health of youth in sports. The 5th annual Pediatric Research in Sports Medicine (PRiSM) meeting is underway and we are leading conversations in these areas:
This morning, staff orthopedist Henry B. Ellis, M.D. shared findings of our study on athletes after an ACL injury and their readiness to return to sports. In this review of 48 athletes, we found athletes have difficulty returning to sports due to the “other” leg. This generated a lot of discussion since rehabilitation protocols and return to sport decisions are based on the performance of the surgical leg. Scottish Rite Hospital psychologist Erica Force, Ph.D., C.C.A.A.S.P. will present more information tomorrow from this study that will begin to answer questions that are being discussed among attendees today.
