One of the most common knee injuries in contact and collision sports is a medial collateral ligament (MCL) injury. This is a ligament on the medial (side closest to the midline) side of your knee that provides stability against side-to-side stress to the knee. You might injure it by cutting maneuvers in sports like soccer or hockey. You can also suffer an MCL injury if another player hits you on the outside of your knee.
Please note: I don't respond to questions and requests for specific medical advice left in the comments to my videos. I receive too many to keep up (several hundred per week), and legally I can't offer specific medical advice to people who aren't my patients (see below). If you want to ask a question about a specific injury you have, leave it in the comments below, and I might answer it in an upcoming Ask Dr. Geier video. If you need more detailed information on your injury, go to my Resources page: https://www.drdavidgeier.com/resources/

Unlike tears of the ACL, MCL injuries most often heal without surgery. You might need to wear a hinged knee brace for 2-6 weeks. The length of time you miss from sports or exercise varies depending on the location and severity of the injury.
In this video, I share my thoughts on the nature of an MCL injury, the diagnosis, the treatment options and return to sports.

Splenectomy is a surgical procedure to remove your spleen. The spleen is an organ that sits under your rib cage on the upper left side of your abdomen. It helps fight infection and filters unneeded material, such as old or damaged blood cells. With the da Vinci Surgical System, Dr. Olson operates through just a few small incisions. The da Vinci System features a magnified 3D high-definition vision system and tiny wristed instruments that bend and rotate far greater than the human hand. As a result, da Vinci enables surgeons to operate with enhanced vision, precision and control.
http://www.nucleushealth.com/ - This 3D medical animation shows the cause and laparoscopic treatment of a ventral incisional hernia. If you have had abdominal surgery in the past, a ventral incisional hernia may appear at the site of your surgical scar. Your intestine may push through a weakened spot in the tissue between your abdominal muscles creating a bulge beneath your skin. If your hernia is not repaired, complications may occur.

Most people with TS are not significantly impaired by their symptoms and therefore do not require treatment with medication. However, several medications are available to control TS symptoms that interfere with functioning. Except in more severe cases when tics are sometimes painful, the main reasons for medication are to improve appearance and lessen embarrassing social interactions. As with all medications, there are possible side effects that should be monitored carefully by the physician. Patients should always be included in the decision to take medication, as they are the best judge of how disruptive the symptoms are to them. Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial to help the person with TS cope with his or her condition. Often, people make fun of a person with TS. Parents of children with TS also may find it difficult to cope with their child's behavior. When people with TS are diagnosed correctly and treated for the condition early, they can learn to cope with their disorder and accept that they are ok and normal.
