I would love to see a video discussing ACL rehab for us with hypermobile knees. Its a very hard thing to find research and videos on

Only 1 minute into the video and I just wanted to say: this is gold once again. Thank you for delivering the best quality content in the industry! PS: Chris, you nailed it

Please make a video about pro athletes who undergo non-surgical path

Thanks! For the analysis to be complete, I miss the impact of proper maintenance training (strength, plyo, propio etc). About the last factor impact, RTS test, it may have only importance in 2nd injury likelyhood during the first weeks/months in return to sport, and may be mixed with the gradual return and individual over-protection during that time

Thank you so much for the information. It has been helping me, so as the others, a ton in my rehab process Would E3 Rehab consider making a video related to the secondary prevention program?

Hello teacher, the doctor I went to said that the cruciate ligament was broken and we will make a new one and remove the meniscus. As a result of my research, it is more appropriate to cut and repair the meniscus rather than remove it, because if the meniscus is removed, there will be more load on the cartilage and wear and calcification will occur. I can't decide what to do about surgery. Can you help me?

Great video! Btw, the words "et al." come from latin (et alia, meaning: and others) and it's pronounced /et ˈæl/ and not /et ɔːl/. I know it's latin and it seems stupid to be pointing this out but since you use it so often in your videos I though I brought it up.

Found this video quite negative, whilst reality is important the framing of it entirely negative and not that helpful infact. Patients should not have any high or even positive expectations, patients might probably have a second injury, returning to sport will get you a likely second injury, if you're young well you're shit out of luck your the target population for the ACL rupture boogeyman, even if you had return to sport testing and your get a high score, it doesn't matter, research says its meh at best. So you're screwed in every way there is to be screwed 👍
