We talk a lot about ACL tears in female sports, what we don't discuss are the long-term consequences If you live in BC 🇨🇦 & struggling after an ACL reconstruction, this clinical trial may be a good fit https://t.co/UvXEYk8N3T

I do not think it is either surgery or exercise. Exercise first is however a good option for most, also young adults with knee injury.
Is surgery always necessary for young patients with anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries or meniscal tears? 🦵 🔪 In a paper in @AnnalsofIM we discuss the evidence suggesting a much larger role of non-surgical treatment🏃 Read here 👉: https://t.co/UmCtKaY0VU

Exercise first is the way to go. Exercise therapy is more effective than we think it can be. Unfortunately, surgery is not as good as we would like it to be. For example, at least 20% experience chronic knee pain after total knee replacement. Try exercise first.
🚨OUT TODAY, OPEN ACCESS🚨 Structured education and exercise therapy is COST-EFFECTIVE in delaying/avoiding joint replacements in those with lower pain levels (??? low-value), saving the health system $100M annually!!! https://t.co/nnA5yebTBL
