Dr. Colosimo Quotes (4 Quotes)

You've damaged the nerves and arteries around the joint. They can't function normally when the knee is filled with fluid.

In basketball and soccer players, that's what usually happens. Nobody even touches them. The body is caught in a given position where there is rotation on the leg, and all the pressure is placed on that one ligament.

The ACL has little, if any, ability to heal itself, and if it's torn it now leaves you with a functional disability. You can't run, jump or cut.

You have to re-educate that leg as to its muscle-firing patterns, the nerve pathways, so you can walk and run again.
