COA Paper Session: Sports: Questions & Answers

Description

The conversation begins with Jordan Buchko addressing the uncertainties surrounding the future of virtual meetings and proceeds with an inquiry regarding the programming of Xbox Kinect technology used in athlete screening. Jason Corban, who leads the development team, explains the proprietary formula utilized by their Xbox Kinect system to analyze drop vertical jump angles through specific vector measurements from the body.



As the dialogue continues, Corban emphasizes the importance of incorporating a biomechanical assessment as part of pre-season screenings for varsity athletes, advocating for the inclusion of these assessments alongside traditional clinical evaluations for better specificity in risk management. The assessment is praised for its efficiency and minimal setup time, suggesting an integration into routine athlete evaluations.



Moin Khan then engages Laurie Hiemstra about preferred fixation techniques in surgeries, revealing a preference for using plastic anchors and an interference screw in the femur to address complications and nerve issues during recovery. The indications suggest a reflective approach to surgical practices, underscoring careful attention to graft fixation without tension.



Subsequent conversation involves queries about differences in fixation techniques and surgical practices, particularly regarding the handling of tools and management of screw depth during procedures.



Finally, Jordan Buchko summarizes the session, expressing gratitude towards presenters for their insightful contributions while reminding viewers to complete a post-session evaluation, signaling an end to the engaging discussion.
