00:00walk us through the play because he gets hit high by one linebacker and then he gets undercut low
00:06by another. How do you end up with MCL, PCL, and meniscus damage but a healthy ACL? Someone coming
00:16up from high and then someone coming low causes a bend of the knee to the side more than front
00:23and back. And so with the MCL, that's what the MCL protects us from is that kind of side to
00:28side
00:28motion, the MCL and the LCL on the outside. And the ACL and PCL protect us from front and back
00:34motion
00:35of the knee. It all just depends on the angles and they got them just right. A lot of the
00:38ACL
00:39injuries that we see are when someone has their foot planted and then the knee bends. So there's
00:43different angles at which the ACL is being pulled. But this one was just so that he's lucky and then
00:49he didn't get his ACL. But unfortunately, a lot of other things. If you had a patient come in to
00:54your
00:54office with MCL, PCL, and meniscus damage, but a healthy ACL as well, would his or her rehab and
01:03recovery be different than Jackson Dart's? It all depends on what they want to do afterwards. What
01:09they look like now, how healthy they are now, how healthy the tissue is in the knee now, and what
01:14they're expecting of the knee to do in the future. He is a 23-year-old who is going to
01:19want to play
01:19football again. And he's going to be asking his knee to run and stop and cut and pivot and twist.
01:25Whereas if you have someone who's maybe in their 40s, 50s, 60s, and they want to run a marathon,
01:31they want to run a straight line, that might be fine. And we might be able to conservatively treat
01:36them without any surgery and just kind of rehab, rehab, rehab.
