The Injury List

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.
 
Didn’t I hear that ND already had some banged up players?

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) :D

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.

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.

Have posted this before but several local Texas Physical Therapists that specialize in sport injuries report that women's high school and college knee injuries are up 2-3X the past 10+ years. No formal studies to support cause but anecdotally they feel many coaches and programs have tried to increase performance through extreme work outs with knee, foot and ankle injuries often the result. Often a combination where as example bad ankle puts stress on foot or knee with stress fractures or ACL tears the result.
 
ND walk-on Katie Cole out for the season with a knee injury. She actually played meaningful minutes against Villanova in last year's tournament. Hopefully this year's season-ending knee injury tally stops at 1.

 
One more: Oregon recruit Nyara Sabally, a 6'4" forward and the MVP of both the 2017 FIBA U18 Class B European Tournament and the more recent FIBA U18 European Championship last August, is out for the season with a knee injury suffered in the U18 championship game (in which Germany defeated Spain).. She is the younger sister of Satou Sabally and likely would have been a candidate for freshman of the year in the Pac12 (an award won by Satou S. last year and Ionescu the year before).
 
what a shame but I guess breaking an arm is better then breaking a leg

 
and another..........it's really becoming a battle of attrition..........anybody who thinks teams can carry a short bench is taking quite a chance
