The Injury List

[Charliebball]

Injuries are becoming so widespread I thought perhaps it deserved a thread of it's own..........depressing but worth knowing about........

Unfortunately females are more susceptible to ACL tears do to anatomy. Apparently after 4 players went down with ACL tears at Notre Dame, they started new training programs to help prevent them for their players. Hopefully it works and other teams adopt similar injury prevention training because an injury (especially an ACL tear) is not something I'd wish on anyone.

You can add Marta Sneizek from Stanford and Joyner Holmes to this list as well.

Wishing speedy recoveries to all the injured

You're right Charlie B, this thread is depressing. Injuries are a part of playing sports. If you play, at some point you're going to get injured. If I had my way, no college athlete would suffer a season ending injury. It happen to me, I know the feeling. The worst day of my college career.

The best day by far was graduation day. The second best day was MOVING DAY!!! (going home for good)

Based on this video of a recent open scrimmage taken from the ND twitter site, Prohaska's ankle must be fine, because she's out there and her reddish-blonde hair can be seen in the blue practice uni fairly early on.
No sign of Shepard, Gilbert or Cole (if the article is on-target, her surgery would be today).

These ACL injuries are just horrible. And what's worse is that these women are then far more susceptible to severe arthritis in that knee, requiring knee replacement. And the terrible thing about that is that those artificial knees only last fifteen years, requiring yet another surgery when these women are in their thirties. And the sad thing about that is that they can only have two knee replacements in a lifetime, or at least with current technology. So these women who have suffered ACL tears find themselves with severe arthritis later in life that can't be treated with a new artificial knee.

Makes me cringe just to consider.

UConn has had its fair share of ACL tears. Poor Shea Ralph - she could have been one of the best ever, but her career was cut short before it even started.

Poor kids. Sick to read of these injuries, especially the torn acls.

This is the one and only time I will read this topic. I hate injuries.

The replacement knees sometimes eliminates pain, but not always. My Ortho would no replace a knee under age 60. HE would not allow running or jumping with a replaced knee. The true fact o life (with replacement knees) is they are no where as wonderful as the one that came with you. I asked a number of Orthos about what caused MY arthritis and they don't know or don't want to offer an opinion. But I am certain running, jumping and extra long fast walking and yes BB took it's toll. I injured my right knee at age 5 and had issues with it my whole life but it was the left knee that was replaced--my bad knee is now my good knee.

Joyner did not Tear an ACL just specifying , but she is injured and will miss some time . Not the entire season but will miss some .

Caroline Doty as well. I always thought she carried herself much like DT. But after the injuries it just seemed like she wasn’t the same.

Wow that’s just terrible. Wanted Lambert to be a Gamecock coming out of college and she had a really nice freshman year at Duke. Hate to see she’s going through this again.

"She is expected to have surgery in November for a meniscal tear and to reconstruct her ACL in her left knee."
Three surgeries in total, according to Coach P. Geesh. All the best to her.
