My goodness, this was super succinct, simply explained, and straight to the point. Question: I am 60 years young, a former dancer and footballer, had an injury years ago (in 1976 USA high school football), they did not have pinhole surgery back then) and have had "knee particle clean out" over the past 15-years. I also have right knee valgus. Now I have a choice of (1) ACL & MCL reconstruction; (2) knee replacement; (3) "conservative management". I plan to continue to run and sprint straight ahead (no more agility sid-by-side pivot and cut). What would you suggest? I know it is limited information but, is surgery necessary? The recovery time freaks me out. Thanks!
I hope you're doing well. I have to preface this by saying I'm only a student of physical therapy at this point in 2020. However, the evidence on almost anything except for complete ruptures generally says conservative management has similar or superior outcomes and is less costly. Regardless, I would seek conservative management first. A PT could be able to rehab your knee. Or if it beyond their scope, they would refer out to a physician. Either way, a PT opinion is best first, because it decreases the chances of needing surgery. Hope you recover quickly!
Dear catalyst university, I have i couple of questions I have knee valgus to an extent I have pain in the area of the mcl sometimes But never in my lcl When im doing a glute bridge i dong feel glute maximus but when i put my feet closer to me and i come up i feel the lcl but im not sure if it is a strech or a flex meaning shortening but i do feel my glute max a little it almost feels like the lcl "tightness" worsen the glute maximus "activation" / "flexion"/ "shortening" I want to hear your thoughts about if the lcl getting streched or getting shotned even more? The reason i ask is because if lcl force worsen valgus then it makes sense to do the opposite and strech a little while strengthening the muscles that supposed to support the knees and getting a little bit more a netural position. Hope to hear your thoughts 💭💭💭
I'm not 100% sure but I think since this video is talking just about the knees that it is correct. When you have coca vara which is at the hip, you would likely have gene valga which is at the knee. On the other hand when you have coxa valga (hip), you would have gene vara (knee). I was confused on this too but that is why he says vara is bowstring because that is when the hip has coax valga with gene vara. And yes, your measurements are correct if you are looking at the hip. Hopes this helps and I'm open to corrections as I'm just a student and figuring this all out!!
hi everyone ,if anyone else wants to discover bow leg correction try Lenas Bow Remedy (just google it ) ? Ive heard some incredible things about it and my m8 got excellent results with it.
thank you so much for the explanation on varus and valgus stress force. I have always confused between these two mechanism of injury.
Thank you makes so much more sense now
thank you it was perfect
Thank you for this video

Thank you 🙇
Thank you!!!!!
Thank you
excellent explnation!!!
This was great! Subbed! Thanks!
amazing!
😯😯 waw , it is so helpful for me thank you 😇
Depending on the kinetic energy of the lateral force, when is it no longer possible to bring back the leg to its normal state?
Thank u
Amazing
thanks
great video!
Thx
Dear catalyst university,
I have i couple of questions
I have knee valgus to an extent
I have pain in the area of the mcl sometimes
But never in my lcl

To counter the valgus or varus force, what is the role of strengthen & stretch in this condition?
Thanks for sharing.
actually isn’t it the other way around? Valga > 140 and Vara < 120 so the pics are not correct
