Dr. Tim Maggs shares the case of a 19-year-old college runner whose stabbing pain along the outside of her left knee forced her to stop running.
He reviews her biomechanical evaluation, including increased Q angles at both knees and a 7-millimeter difference in femoral head height. After adding orthotics, the measured difference decreased to 3.1 millimeters, informing his recommendation for a right-sided lift.
Dr. Maggs outlines his proposed recovery plan, including a temporary break from running, cold laser therapy, knee taping, and icing at home. He also discusses involving the athlete’s family, setting realistic expectations for returning to competition, and considering an MRI if recovery does not progress as expected.
Watch this case review to learn how he incorporates foot support, structural balance, and long-term athletic goals into patient care.
