Segment One (03:00): Dr. Matt Sardelli from OrthoMichigan?discusses the role of the 
anterolateral ligament (ALL) in rotational instability of the knee and ACL tears.?As far back as 1879, a French surgeon named Paul Segond first speculated that, in addition to the four obvious structural knee ligaments known then ? the anterior cruciate, medial collateral, posterior cruciate and lateral collateral, which loop around and through the joint ? other ligaments must exist in the knee or it would not be stable. He wrote that during dissections he had noticed a ?pearly, resistant fibrous band? originating at the outside, front portion of the thighbone and continuing to the shinbone, which, in his estimation, must stabilize the outer part of the knee, preventing it from collapsing inward.

Segment Two (11:20): Steve and Dr. Cole discuss rib injuries.?The term rib injury usually means rib fracture – that is, a break in one or more of the ribs. Sometimes the ribs are not
broken but there is bruising of ribs or nearby muscles. Rib injuries occur when there is a force to the chest such as from a fall, road accident or assault.
Usually, the diagnosis is made from the details you give to the doctor (history) plus a doctor’s examination. Ribs which are broken (fractured) are painful, particularly with movement, deep breaths or coughing. The injured area is tender when pressed.?The break (fracture) or bruise usually heals in about four weeks.
Good pain relief during this time helps you to breathe and cough properly. Simply putting up with the pain is not a good idea, as it can lead to shallow breathing, lack of coughing and chest infections.
