163. ACL treatment options and cross-bracing with Clare Walsh

Episode 163

mercredi 17 avril 2024 • Duration 01:07:42

ACL injuries result in significant time away from sport and distress for patients. The variety of management options, from surgical intervention to non-surgical management and rehabilitation protocols, often makes us uncertain when educating and helping patients choose the most appropriate care for their needs and goals.

Recently, a new non-operative ACL injury management pathway called the “Cross bracing protocol” has been pioneered and developed by Dr Tom Cross and Tom’s father (the late Orthopaedic surgeon) Dr Merv Cross. This protocol offers a promising alternative for patients with ACL injuries who are suitable for non-surgical intervention, where the ACL injury may heal or repair itself.

Not all patients with an ACL injury are suitable for the Cross bracing protocol or non-surgical management, so how can you identify whether your patient is suitable, and which treatment options are best for each patient?

In this insightful podcast episode, we discuss the complex challenge of ACL injury management and Cross bracing with Clare Walsh (Specialist Sports & Exercise Physiotherapist, FACP).

Clare treats a lot of patients with ACL injuries with prehabilitation, post-op rehabilitation, or non-surgical management including Cross bracing. Clare works alongside Dr Tom Cross and other Sports Medicine Doctors, Orthopaedic surgeons (including the late Dr Merv Cross) and leading Sports Physiotherapists at Stadium Sports Physiotherapy and The Stadium Clinic.

Clare teaches on the Cross bracing course conducted in Australia for Physiotherapists and health professionals, and is a Senior Educator & Presenter here at Clinical Edge.

In this podcast we explore:

Cross bracing
- What it is and how it developed.
- What research has been performed to date, and what it shows about the chances of ACL healing with the Cross bracing protocol.
- Assessment tests & specific imaging that are used to assess patient suitability.
- Why patients might opt for Cross bracing rather than surgery.
- Who isn’t suitable for Cross bracing.
- Potential negative outcomes of Cross bracing.
- Which patients are more likely to be suitable and successful with Cross bracing - eg. injury type, age, level of sport, goals, psychosocial factors.
- Medical factors that impact suitability.
- Psychosocial factors that impact whether a patient can undergo the protocol.
- Which leg (right or left) is better suited to bracing and why.
- Which type of braces are commonly used.
- How soon the protocol needs to commence after injury to be successful.
- Which concomitant injuries can still heal in a brace and which need surgery e.g. meniscus injuries, bucket handle tears of the meniscus, MCL tears.
- How long patients remain in a brace.
- Exercises and activities that can and should be performed throughout Cross bracing.
- How patients can move or walk around throughout the Cross bracing period.
- How Cross bracing has changed and evolved.
- Whether the ACL is at increased risk of re-rupture following the protocol.
- Essential medical management during the protocol.
- Whether therapists can put a patient in a brace, or manage the protocol independently.
- What to you do if you think a patient may be suitable for Cross bracing.
- How to refer patients for Cross bracing
- Followup imaging at the end of the protocol.
- Functional assessment tests used at the end of the protocol.
- Return to training (RTT) and return to play (RTP) following the protocol.
Which patients require surgery instead of conservative management.
Early surgery vs delayed surgery.
Spontaneous ACL healing - what the research says.
How to use patient-centred decision-making to guide patients into the most suitable recovery pathway - surgery, bracing or non-surgical management.
Case studies and comparisons of patients that underwent either Cross bracing or ACL reconstruction.

This podcast is packed full of great information on this emerging ACL injury treatment. You’ll finish this podcast with a deeper understanding of ACL injury management and Cross bracing plus practical knowledge, solutions and insights you can apply into your practice.

154. Hip dysplasia key signs and symptoms. Physio Edge Track record: Running repairs podcast with Tom Goom

Episode 154

vendredi 19 mai 2023 • Duration 15:40

Hip dysplasia is a commonly missed cause of hip and groin pain, catching, clicking, locking or popping, resulting from lack of coverage of the femoral head by the acetabulum.

How can you identify hip dysplasia in your hip or groin pain patients, and avoid misdiagnosing it as iliopsoas or adductor related groin pain? What signs and symptoms will your patients reveal in their subjective history that’ll help you identify this condition?

Find out the key signs and symptoms of hip dysplasia in this podcast with Tom Goom (Running Physio).

064. What is causing calf pain in runners and how can you assess it with Tom Goom

Episode 64

vendredi 9 juin 2017 • Duration 28:56

One of the most popular blogposts of all time on Tom Goom's website running-physio.com is on how to manage calf tears in runners. Is this because it is a really common problem, or because Tom wrote such a great blogpost? It's a bit hard to tell, and most likely it's a bit of both, but it begs the question "Why is calf pain one of the issues so many runners face? "

In episode 64 of the Physio Edge podcast, David Pope and Tom Goom discuss the latest research around calf pain in runners and what is actually going on. We want to give you all the tools you need to assess runners that present with calf pain, so we have included this in the episode as well.

If you would like to up your game on calf pain, here are some of the highlights from the podcast:

What is responsible for calf pain in runners?
What are the common symptoms?
What will imaging show (or not show)?
What happened to chronic exertional compartment syndrome (CECS)? Does it still exist?
What is biomechanical overload syndrome, and how is it different to CECS?
Who are the most likely culprits to experience calf pain?
How can you assess runners with calf pain?
What tests should you perform?
How can you perform a calf capacity test?

058. How to monitor your athletes workload with Tom Goom

Episode 58

mercredi 26 avril 2017 • Duration 28:19

Your athletes workload consists of the amount of running, training and matches performed. Their current workload can be compared to previous workload to identify periods where they may be at risk of injury or setting back their rehabilitation (Gabbett 2016). Balancing your athletes workload during rehabilitation and afterwards is vital to allow recovery from injury, improved performance while avoiding further injury.

What do you need to monitor, and how can you monitor workload in an easy and efficient manner? Find out in this episode of the Physio Edge podcast with Tom Goom and David Pope.
