The Vancouver Canucks have incorporated a number of corrective exercise principles to decrease groin injuries in hockey players.
Excellent to see.
Taking Care of Below the Belt
When it comes to groin, prevention is the best medicine
The Province - Jim Jamieson - September 21, 2008
WHISTLER -- Last time the Vancouver Canucks had a training camp, six players suffered groin tweaks of varying severity that caused ripple effects through the preseason.
Takahashi said the credit for the sterling record goes to a program instituted a year ago whereby each player is photographed going through a variety of movements. The pictures are overlaid by a grid that allows trainers to pick out deficiencies in different parts of the athlete's body. A software program then produces a program for each individual to work on those deficiencies with a foam roller, stability ball, core sling bands and stretching.

MedPage Today - by Judith Groch - July 14, 2008
Elderly patients who had hip or knee replacement for severe osteoarthritis took several weeks to recover but had excellent long-term outcomes, a prospective study found.

Med Page Today - by Todd Neale - June 19, 2008
Osteoarthritic hips even in older Medicare patients are likely to respond to arthroplasty with invigorated physical functioning, researchers here found.

Obesity and Joint Replacement
Obesity Cited in Growth of Joint Replacement Surgery in Younger Patients
April 15, 2008 - By Todd Neale, Staff Writer, MedPage Today
In 1997, about 60.2% of primary hip replacements and 69.1% of primary knee replacements were performed in patients ages 65 to 84, Sunny Kim, Ph.D., of Florida International University here, reported in the April 15 issue of Arthritis Care & Research.
Dr. Kim noted that more joint replacements in a younger and heavier population will likely increase the need for revisions with lengthier operative times, longer hospital stays, and higher complication rates than primary replacements.
