MB Sports/Connect’s Banker is joined by Tufts (DIII) Associate Professor in the Department of Medicine Driban, who also serves as a member of the Special and Scientific Staff at Tufts Medical Center to the Secondary Prevention Task Force that was assembled to address preventative strategies for osteoarthritis for college athletes post-ACL injury. Banker and Driban dive into why ACL injuries are more prevalent now, the impact of athletes specializing in one sport, preventative strategies that could reduce the risk of injury by 40% and more. ACL injuries, Driban explains, occur across all sports, “especially the ones that involve a lot of dynamic pivoting with unexpected movements, landing with unexpected activities occurring. … Women’s sports tend to experience them a little more often than men.” Driban also explains that despite advances in preventative strategies, ACL injuries have occurred at an increasing rate over the past 20 years. Driban attributes the increase to sports specialization and a lack of coaches who use preventative strategies despite their widespread availability, among other factors. Full conversation on Connect.
