Here is an interesting take on the progress of Robert Griffin III and his return to the NFL after a serious knee injury: Jeffri Chadiha from ESPN.com discusses RG3
This reminds me of the presentation I gave on multi-ligament knee injuries back in 2007 at the Society of Military Orthopaedic Surgeons that won Best Poster. I showed that most sailors & soldiers were able to get back to active duty after injuring more than one knee ligament, but it did take longer than those with only an ACL injury (Return to Duty After Multi-ligament Knee Injuries). These expectations should be kept in mind when judging RG3 or Marcus Lattimore's recoveries from their multi-ligament knee injuries.
Are there other knee conditions that you would like me to discuss in future postings?
