May 5, 2025 Christina Abdel Shaheed, _University of Sydney_; David Hunter, _University of Sydney_; Lyn March, _University of Sydney_, and Vicky Duong, _University of Sydney_ A new review has


identified more than 150 factors that influence the risk of knee osteoarthritis. These are the key ones to consider. November 17, 2024 Angie Brown, _Quinnipiac University_ Injuries and


osteoarthritis of the knee are common. Fortunately, there are many ways to prevent and treat knee pain. May 6, 2024 Anthony Nasser, _University of Technology Sydney_; Joshua Pate,


_University of Technology Sydney_, and Peter Stubbs, _University of Technology Sydney_ Although surgery is common for ACL injuries, research has shown it may not be needed in every case.


Some people who have ruptured their ACL fare well with only a rehabilitation program. March 28, 2024 Julian Owen, _Bangor University_ and Eloise Kirby, _Bangor University_ Despite the fact


that there are similar injuries in men and women’s rugby, women should not be viewed merely as smaller versions of men. August 1, 2023 Jackie Whittaker, _University of British Columbia_;


Christina Le, _University of Alberta_, and Linda Truong, _University of British Columbia_ Gender disparities in sport extend to injuries too. Female soccer players are at greater risk for


ACL tears than males and it is clear immediate action is needed to address the non-biological factors for the injury. February 23, 2023 Colin Ayre, _University of Bradford_; Paul Millington,


_University of Bradford_, and Stephen Paul Guy, _University of Leeds_ ACL injuries are the most serious kind of knee damage and they are more prevalent in female footballers. July 6, 2022


Sallie Cowan, _La Trobe University_; Brooke Patterson, _La Trobe University_, and Kay Crossley, _La Trobe University_ Yes, there is a risk of injuring yourself while playing netball but the


overall risk of serious injury is relatively small – and far outweighed by the benefit of being active and part of a team. July 16, 2020 Karen Hind, _Durham University_ Injuries that


commonly effect former players during retirement include concussion, neck injuries, shoulder dislocation, and knee ligament injuries. May 19, 2020 Sheila Leddington Wright, _Coventry


University_ Whether it’s a pulled muscle, sore ankle, or shin splints, here’s the best way to get back on track. April 6, 2018 Nial Wheate, _University of Sydney_ and Andrew McLachlan,


_University of Sydney_ While PPS is approved in oral capsule form to treat bladder inflammation, it is not yet approved as in injection for knee and bone problems. But AFL players have been


given special access. September 17, 2017 Justine Naylor, _UNSW Sydney_ Private patients who stay in hospital for costly rehab after major knee surgery recover just as fast as people who go


home and have physiotherapy. So, why pay more? December 19, 2016 Anthony Hollander, _University of Liverpool_ A meniscal tear can end a sports career. There are no reliable fixes, but one


might be on the horizon.
