After a patient has undergone ACL surgery, rehabilitation is bread and butter in many physiotherapy/sports medicine clinics. Many BJSM podcast listeners will be expert in this role. If you are less expert and wondering if there is an ‘optimum’ way to guide the patient back to sport, Dr Andy Franklyn-Miller provides some food for thought. 

He discusses some novel ways of assessing a patient’s progress after ACL reconstruction, advocates for the use of video in the clinic, and shares the dynamic tests he uses before allowing a player to return to sport. He shares exercises that both test, and help rehabilitate athletes in this setting.
 
Dr Franklyn-Miller is a sports physician at the Sports Surgery Clinic in Dublin, Ireland. He has published widely in sports medicine and his book, Clinical Sports Anatomy (2011), co-authored with Eanna Falvey and Peter Brukner, is an international best-seller. You can follow him on Twitter @AFranklynMiller and his blog provides great resources (www.drAndyFranklyMiller.com) including a further series of podcasts.

Professor Philippe Neyret from Lyon, France, is a renowned sports orthopaedic surgeon. Following from his talk at the Isokinetic Football Medicine Conference in Milan, BJSM editor Karim Khan reached him via mobile phone. 

Prof Neyret discusses patellar dislocation in the setting of football and explains that certain anatomic variations (including trochlea dysplasia) make the condition more likely to occur. For players who have suffered patellar dislocation, next steps are not straightforward. Professor Neyret explains which players he would recommend have surgery.

Professor Lorimer Moseley holds the Inaugural Chair in Physiotherapy at the University of South Australia as well as being a Professor of Neurosciences. He completed his PhD in 2002 and has both learned and shared wisdom at the Universities of Queensland, Sydney and Oxford before settling in Adelaide. He leads the Body in Mind Research Group and coauthored the best-selling ‘Explain Pain’.

In this podcast he answers questions from Ebonie Rio, Department of Physiotherapy, Monash University, covering the important difference between pain and nociception, and sharing thoughts on how pain science can help clinicians working in sports medicine. 

You’ll hear him share the best, and worst, ways to explain pain to patients. He predicts how low back pain management will look in 100 years’ time. As always with Lorimer Moseley. expect thoughtful reflections shared with big dob of humour and humility.
