Girls Knees

Submitted by Brooke de Lench on Fri, 06/06/2008 - 12:19.
It seems to be a fact that girls are tearing up their knees more oftent than boys. Has your daughter suffered a serious sports injury? A recent New York Times article reported that girls are suffering more injuries than boys playing sports. What has been your experience? Are girls are injured more often than boys?

My daughter fractured her knee

Submitted by Julie Howard on Fri, 06/27/2008 - 02:32.

my allstar softball player actually fractured her knee at Middle School Field day playing a pick up game of ball. She said she heard it pop when she stepped on base. She has caught for at least half a game each season and we are wondering if perhaps she damaged the knee prior to this and didn't know it. At least it wasn't an acl.

I have seen this two times in the past 16 years! I am sure that both the girls whom I helped (I aM a school RN) did not warm up enough. Just curious,,can you tell me what the weather was an dif your girl warmed up? Also, what kind of excercises do they do pre-practice/game?
