  1. Sports injury doctor dubai- A Guide by Dr Rik Kundra

  2. While female athletes have, on average, a 3.5 times greater risk for sustaining noncontact ACL injuries (injuries without direct contact with another athlete) compared with males, men sustain their share of ACL injuries. One of the most recent high-profile ACL injuries was to Golden State guard Klay Thompson who sustained a torn anterior cruciate ligament during the Warriors’ series-ending NBA Finals loss to the Toronto Raptors on June 13, 2019.

  3. What can athletes do to lessen the chances of an ACL tear

  4. Focusing on Balance Since most non-contact ACL injuries occur during a quick change of direction, a sudden deceleration, a faulty landing, or a collision, improving balance and strengthening the small muscles of the knees can help prevent the strange twists and pivots that cause ACL tears. Such efforts also improve resilience and reaction time. Traditional warm-up before intense activity A few minutes spent warming up before intense activity can help prevent spending months on the sideline. The effect of the little warm-up is it loosens muscles and ligaments that are cold and stiff. This helps prevent injuries or, at least, reduces their severity (i.e., an ACL sprain as opposed to a complete tear).

  5. Incorporating a landing pattern Since most ACL-related injuries, especially in females, occur when landing, a training program in which athletes are continuously trained on a landing pattern should be inaugurated in teams’ training regimes. While safety precautions can help reduce the likelihood of injuries, they cannot guarantee avoidance. An athlete going through the long, sometimes traumatic, and slow recovery process from an ACL injury must remain patient and avoid the “quick to recover” mode to get back to action.
