Dr. Alexis Colvin, an orthopedic sports medicine surgeon at the Mount Sinai Health System, said there are many variables when it comes to recovery from a labrum tear, including the location and severity of the tear.

Dr. Alexis Colvin, orthopedic sports medicine surgeon at The Mount Sinai Hospital, said it’s not unusual to have that type of injury to both knees. “With some people, it’s just the way they’re built,” Colvin said. “Some people are loose-jointed.” Of course, there are no guarantees, which is probably what teams are looking for when considering a signing of this magnitude.Alex

Dr. Alexis Colvin writes about staying fit and injury-free in the winter
A classic scenario for ski injuries goes something like this: It’s late in the day, and you want to get in just one more run. You’re tired and not as in control as you were when you were fresh.
As a result, you may “catch an edge” — accidentally digging the edge of your ski into the snow.
Because your ankle is in a binding, the torque, or rotational force, goes straight through the knee, causing the ACL to rip.

“There’s a lot of advance planning especially when you go somewhere outside of the U.S,” Dr. Colvin told Baseline. “It’s coming up with your emergency plan and where you would get different tests. The other thing that we plan for is supplies that we have to bring. You have to anticipate almost every single possibility that could happen from strains to the flu or an upset stomach—any and all possible things.”
Dr. Colvin gives tips for recovery methods after a marathon
Dr. Alexis Colvin, an orthopedic surgeon specializing in sports medicine at Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai Hospital, expressed how important it is to continue moving once you cross the finish line. “Your body needs time to transition,” Colvin says. “Try to walk for at least 10 to 15 minutes, and be sure to grab a thermal blanket to keep yourself warm once you cool down.” This will help your body adjust to the weather and keep your muscles from stiffening up.

“We have the most data, and the literature say there’s a successful outcome after ACL reconstruction,” Anthony said. “While the biological therapies, such as stem cell, have a lot of promise, we have less data to show they will have the same success rate as an ACL reconstruction.”

Dr James Gladstone writes about the first autologous cellularized scaffold approved by FDA
Vericel Corporation announced the FDA approval of an autologous cellularized scaffold for the repair of symptomatic, full-thickness cartilage defects of the knee in adult patients.
The first FDA-approved product that applies the process of tissue engineering to grow cells on scaffolds, each Maci (Vericel Corporation) implant is composed of a patient’s cells that are expanded and placed onto a bioresorbable porcine-derived collagen membrane that is implanted over the area where the defective or damaged tissue was removed, according to a press release.

“The extent is going to be if there’s any tearing and whether or not it needs to be surgically fixed,” said Dr. Alexis Colvin, an Orthopaedic surgeon specializing in sports medicine at Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. “If it does need surgery, he could be out 6-12 weeks and it’ll probably be closer to 12 weeks just because of the fact that he goes back to professional football. But if it’s just a strain, then it could be as short as a week to a week-and-a-half.”
