MgoPT posts- Turf Toe and Patellar Dislocations
couple of recent posts, one very applicable to the football season (turf toe) , and part 1 of a two-part post on patellar dislocations. Thanks again for reading, and I'll continue to take into consideration any suggestions for topics people might be interested in.

Are concussions handled by PT? The only reason why I ask is that I have no idea.

A combination of vestibular rehab, cardiovascular training, and dual tasking (cognitive training). At least this is where the research is currently demonstrating effectiveness.

Well written and thanks for sharing! The images are very helpful.

This is why I love MGoBlog. In addition to great football content, we get such a wide variety of topics and info. I love it. Very informative, and the illustrations/pictures are very helpful. Keep up the good work.

Great job, definitely an interesting read that helps further understand the injury reports we see so often.
Maybe shin splints for a future post?

Great article. Didn't know much about patellar dislocations but I know a bit about patella fractures.

The illustrations are extremely helpful. I never really understood turf toe, in particular. This looks very painful, and now I more fully understand how it can sideline an athlete for a chunk of time. Thanks again for this informative link.

Very nice post. Proper amount of detail. I would suggest MCL sprains for a possible future post...of course if I were more motivated I would just do it...sadly though motivation/time is lacking for such an endevor.

Nice to see you putting your education to work on something more important than making money...Wolverine football. Now I will injure you playing basketball on Christmas and you can post about that (and my dislocated finger that still doesn't work right.)

I found myself cringing and lunging for the bottle of Advil I keep in the office. Now I go have to go look at Grumpy Cat photos to take my mind off my aching knees and toes

I have taught A&P to massage therapists, but this is so well-written that it made my knee hurt trying to process it.

It seems like every acute injury in the foot injury can be terrible. I have heard that the plantar facia is an awful injury to deal with. I once strained the transverse ligament in my foot and I wandered around in hiking boots for a month. Though that was not so bad as those facia injuries.

If you're looking for Michigan-related injuries to cover, you might consider ACL tears as more than half of the current women's basketball squad have suffered that injury over the last few years. One angle to cover on this is why female athletes are more prone to tear their ACLs than their male counterparts.

so I hesitate to post anything you might have read, but this is a pretty good overview from the ACC. It doesn't have the depth that these MgoPT posts have, though.
Anecdotally, I've been lead to believe that they downplay the role of the menstrual cycle and estrogen receptors in the ACL on that page. Again, that's just an observation, albeit from someone that's been around womens sports for fifteen years.

Thanks for the link. That's an interesting article.

Is it common for the ACL to be injured along with the patella? I ruptured my patella tendon and am rehabbing it, but there's an issue of buckling and lack of stability that I fear may be ACL-related. Along with the contact involved with the injury, chronic patellar tendonitis was a big contributing factor for me. I know it's different from a dislocation, but it's somewhat related still. Thanks for this post, though.

A good number of patella injuries are accompanied with other knee injuries. After my smashed patella healed, I still had swerlling and pain, which was diagnosed as a torn miniscus. So the doc had to go in for a third time to clean it up.
