Hello, i am interested in flat feet effect on ankle. I say that because of have flat feet and regularly feeling bruised around in side of ankle to heel area. Just what can help build the muscle.

I actually really liked this! It’s nice to not just know about specifics of one injury or another but understand the thought process a doctor goes through to diagnose any injury of certain type. It’s like saying instead of learning to fish at this lake let me teach you how you can fish anywhere so you’re more equipped to handle various environments

[@heybartender24]

"By the end, you're gonna be able to school your friend and family about ACL tears" *What about the surgeon who misdiagnosed my ACL tear as just an MCL sprain, and refused to order an MRI when I suggested it was an ACL tear, and finally ordered it three months later and confirmed the ACL tear that I TOLD HIM THAT'S WHAT IT WAS?!?* His name was Dr. Walker, too. Always thought that was ironic.

[@speric10]

Today marks 5 months after my ACL and meniscus repair. When I initially tore my ACL, like you it was also misdiagnosed, but as a meniscus sprain until I reaggravated it trying to play basketball again. It was only after I went to a second doctor when he suspected an ACL tear and ordered an MRI to confirm. Learned to always get a second opinion haha.

[@HtheKing]

@@speric10 how painful was it when your first tore the acl? I mean could you not walk for a few days, or is it just mild pain?

[@speric10]

@@HtheKing I have pretty high pain tolerance, so it actually didn't hurt that much (way less then I expect it should have). I thought I just sprained my knee at first, and actually thought about still playing that night until it swelled up to the size of a softball. So I walked out of the gym and drove home. It took about 2 weeks for the swelling to go down and I couldn't really bend my knee because of it. So yeah I couldn't really walk, but it didn't hurt much.

Look up GOATA movement and find a GOATA coach. GOATA is the only movement system on earth that truly understands the landing mechanism and has figured out how to keep your joint capsules and connective tissues safe for life. Do not listen to cadaver science. Millions of people get joint replacement surgeries every year because of the nonsense we have been taught about how to move

[@88crabb]

I genuinely had to keep pausing the video and holding my right knee to ease the visceral reaction, seems somehow my body remembers my full ACL tear hahaha. Excellent video, though, so thank you very much!

[@tariqtopey]

[@johnkensington2980]

@Brian Sutterer MD one thing to also mention that's a pattern all these is hip extension! ACL tears often exhibit hip extension which creates slack in the hamstring, decreasing your ability to resist ATT

[@MylotheZooLovingScientist]

I know the viewership may not have met your hopes or expectations, but I wanted to say that I really appreciated this presentation style, as well as the work that went into this video, Dr. Sutterer. Like another user said, I enjoyed hearing not about a singular incident, but the common themes present across various examples of the same type of injury. I feel like this will also help with memorization of the structures and movements involved in such an injury (not that I'm an aspiring sports doctor -- just interested in anatomy!).

[@BrianSuttererMD]

Appreciate that! This wasnt about the views :)

One of the best videos I've ever seen on KZbin, no kidding. Keep up the good work doc 👏

[@BrianSuttererMD]

Thanks!!

[@MannyAch]

Its interesting because it appears that the trunk lean adds more vertical load into the knee and because we are at a mechanical disadvantage in that position in terms of our inability to utilize the adductors to decelerate the vertical load coming from the trunk lean...it then leads to too much frontal plane load to the ACL...then the ACL goes pop.

[@alexanderdemelo466]

It literally all has to do with how the foot lands. This isn’t a random injury but a consistent pattern of movement misbehaviour that put constant stress on the acl over years and years until eventually the soft tissues can’t stand the over load of energy being dumped into them from poor foot control

[@ryankelly8077]

Loved this summary!! Would love to see more videos like this that detail the related mechanism of a specific injury

[@48162342]

Here after a few months post ACL surgery. Those dark days are behind me thankfully.

[@drewwatzke7430]

You should do a video on Chris Bassitt getting hit by the comebacker, those pitchers getting hit in the head are some of the scariest injuries. Wonder what the trainers are doing during something like that.

[@athletic_doc]

This was very informative! I always thought your trunk is supposed to lean towards your plant leg when making a cut, didnt realize that’s how an ACL is actually torn lol

Thoughts on landing mechanics training that works, and those that doesn’t? Load management over trying to coach movement patterns that’s unnatural, slow, and unspecific?

[@sm9987]

Hi doc drop the video to limit ACL tears. Also do you think they can be avoided to a very large portion? Because it seems to me that In certain positions it’s just gonna tear nevermind the Training you have done. Because looking at these high level athletes I’m sure they train on a pretty high level injury prevention Programm… I would just love to hear your thoughts about this topic

[@jessecastro895]

I have an MRI tomorrow morning, pray for me. 😭

[@biggokii5083]

The best way to prevent this is to create a habit of not turning the foot inwards when and if trying to do stepovers. I love doing stepovers/feints in sports but sometimes I catch myself turning my foot.

[@adrianmartinez2537]

I’ve torn the ACL on my right knee twice and had two reconstructive surgeries on that leg. Now I just torn it on my left knee ! I’m not sure I want to do surgery anymore I’m 31yrs old and hate the post operation rehab process

[@natus99]

Hi. Nice one! Question from my side - how many situations like this happen WITHOUT any damage to ACL?

[@simbabuilds9338]

Also important to note that there had to be a slight internal rotation of the foot for a lot of these to happen as most of these athletes probably don't walk around with knee valgus. Dinwiddie's foot looks like it got kicked into internal rotation right before he landed, very unfortunate.

[@LouchiLouchiano]

your channel has all of the videos reacting/talking about the injuries which we all can see and do. as a Doctor, are you going to upload the videos of you explaining how common people can avoid these injuries with exercises and proper biomechanics?

[@athletic_doc]

I’m honestly shocked guys tear their ACL. When we look at cadavers in our anatomy class and see the ACL of an 90 year old even their ACL is pretty thick. It’s crazy how that thing can tear bc it seems pretty sturdy even on an elderly person

Tom Brady’s ACL tear was from an impact to the side of his knee (the most vulnerable part of the knee)

I would like to hear more on proper landing mechanics. It was said alot that Derrick Rose was famous for not landing properly. All of those plays you showed are basketball moves. We know that there's a reason why the ACL tears but players plant and jump stop all the time, I hate to say that it's random or bad luck...but are there specific ways to lessen that load when the players suddenly stop on an outstretched, flat foot?

[@christopherkey3488]

So keep your trunk square and in line with your knees, got it 👌🏻

[@joeytrust4393]

After a spill on my skateboard I’m experiencing knee pain kind of on the back left side of my left knee. No bruising or swelling, but pain and discomfort for sure. Suggestions?

[@garettturbettmusic]

So I guess that means hypertension’s don’t usually cause ACL tears? What usually gets damaged from knee hypertension?

[@bogdanandrei6270]

It depends of how extreme is the hypertension and the muscle power. Usually ACL, PCL are torn and also it can damage the knee capsule, tibial plateau and in some cases bone edema appears. I had patients with big hypertension during a footbal match and they didn't torn the ligaments but did damage the capsule and the tibia bone. So it's about luck in most of the cases.

[@zenithfenix8190]

Do ACL tears occur more due to fatigue/ long NBA schedule or more just bad luck due to bad positioning of the leg?

[@2kmichaeljordan438]

Probably both, but sometimes, like in Derrick roses case, some people have bad landings built into their muscle memory

[@iscardi]

It would be interesting an "ankle sprain" version of this vid

[@jeffreyswutchinderol4912]

Would you say thomas Bryant’s injury is a lot less worrying since it was off a bad fall rather than a knee movement inward ?

[@carlmcmanus4880]

Your strides aren’t supposed to land too far in front of you while running, does that also add to the risk factor?

[@vickhj6333]

I think it does, Lebron jumps on his tippy does when going for a block, dunk or fastbreak layup and that means less big strides and less pressure on your legs

Greetings doctor, I've had jumpers knee on both knee since 2010. I was playing a pickup game yesterday. I was on a wide open layup, I simply did a one legged layup on my left leg.

[@Benicius10]

Too grippy shoes are a problem

[@Emtje84]

I had the same thought. I guess the Euro step makes your knee more prone to injuries

[@christopherkey3488]

A euro step puts your knees in a vulnerable position, he alludes to keeping your trunk centered over the knee your pushing off of (planting) to prevent the stress that typically causes ACL tears. The only thing you can do is workout your knees and legs to keep them as strong as possible to prevent injury, nothing is guaranteed though

All of those injuries were "Non Contact". As in no one made contact from the side. I never realized so many happen with zero contact.

[@flowjoe18us]

@ Brian Sutterer, you explained how ACLs are torn in basketball athletes. However, can people who practice Martial Arts suffer the same types on injuries?I say this because I was working on my Taekwondo form movements, and I remember turning and stepping with my left leg forward, and keeping my right leg straight. I suddenly heard this popping sound in both knees.So I ask this because I recently injured both my knees over a week ago,and I can't bear weight on my left leg. My left knee is massively swollen and hypersensitive to touch, and my right knee is swollen some as well.But I did get my knees checked out at a local urgent care facility, though only X Rays were taken of my knees. I was told to ice/heat and take over the counter pain medication. So far nothing has helped either knee. I would gone to an ER, but many hospitals have outrageous wait times. I don't know of any other options or ways to get evaluated by a doctor to have either and MRI or CT Scan done. I am hoping that you are able to offer some advice on what I can do. And to also explain how Martial Artists can have the same injuries as any other athlete.Thank You
