Secretary: Peter Simons Assistant: Jennifer Drysdale Office Hours: Tuesday & Thursday 10am-6pm Wednesday 10am-3pm Page 1 Page 2 Knee Problems in Footballers By Merv Cross The knee is the largest joint in the body and consists of 3 bones; the femur (thigh bone), Tibia (shin bone) and patella (knee cap). The joint is considered to be somewhat of a biomechanical phenomenon as it allows greater than 135 degrees of flexion during activities such as running, jumping and climbing. Because it is at the centre of two long lever arms it is subjected to large forces during movement. In particular, when a person attempts to twist or turn suddenly (such as during a sidestep manoeuvre in football) large forces are transmitted to the ligaments in the knee. Hence, the knee is most commonly injured joint during these sidestepping movements. The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) guides the knee during this manoeuvre with the support of the surrounding muscles. During such movements if the muscles supporting this fine control are out of sync the ACL is put under excessive strain and a tear of this ligament will usually occur. The ability to twist and turn on the knee will subsequently be lost as any attempts to do so will result in a “giving away” or subluxation of the knee joint. When the knee twists in an uncontrolled way, the menisci (or “cartilages”) can be caught between the femur and tibia resulting in a tear. Over the time, the torn meniscus is like a piece of metal in a gear box that will cause damage to the delicate lining of the knee (the articular cartilage). Both the menisci and articular cartilage are unable to heal due to the lack of blood supply in the tissue. The longer the knee is continuously unstable following injury, and the torn meniscus left un-repaired, continual damage will occur in the knee with the eventual development of arthrosis. Most people incorrectly refer to this as arthritis (which indicates a disease or inflammation) but the correct term is arthrosis due to the wearing nature of the condition. Arthrosis will usually take 15-20 years to develop into a severe case of damage. Clinically, this arthrosis will cause deformity of the knee (either knock knee or bow leg) and cause pain, stiffness, decreased movement and severe disability. When this occurs, surgery is usually indicated. Operations on the Knee Arthroscopy Arthroscopic surgery is a method of viewing the inside of the knee through a minimally invasive technique. With the use of the arthroscope it is possible to see every aspect of the knee joint through a small keyhole. When the problem has been located another small hole is made and surgical cutters, knives, scissors, punches or motorised shavers are used to repair or remove the damaged area. The menisci are treated this way by repair or excision with very successful results. This method or surgery is used to treat other conditions such as removing loose bodies and repairing damage to the articular cartilage. Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction As mentioned, the ACL controls the twisting mechanism of the knee and if torn one cannot sidestep or turn with confidence for fear of their knee giving way. The recurrent instability can also cause damage to the other structures in the knee and requires a ‘knee reconstruction’. In order the “reconstruct” the ACL, a substitute ligament must be used and a graft is taken from another part of the body. The most common grafts that are used are the middle third of the patella tendon (at the front of the knee) or part of the hamstring tendon (at the back of the knee) as they most resemble the properties of the ACL. Total Knee Replacement A number of retired players as a result of previous injuries and other factors have developed arthrosis in their knees and hips. The development of pain, deformity and loss of function can cause considerable disability and will drive the patient to seek advice. Conservative treatment in the form of exercises and non steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are the first stage of treatment and can often help to postpone the need for surgery for a number of years. Recent developments in technology combined with improved surgical technique and surgeon experience help with the decision to proceed with surgery. Many patients obtain enormous benefits from total knee replacement surgery and are able to resume a productive, active, life that is pain free. The advancement of technology that deals with the development of cementless techniques combined with engineering developments concerning manufacturing and polishing has meant that the current knee replacements will last longer than previous models. Care must be taken that the symptoms indicating the surgery are severe enough to risk the problems that can arise as a result of the surgery. Possible complications that patients should be warned against prior to surgery include the risk of thrombosis, infection and joint stiffness. These complications are kept to a minimum by taking precautions to prevent them. The operations that are outlined above are some of the most successful operations in orthopaedics, but should always be undertaken with good advice and consideration. Further information regarding conditions related to the knee can be found at www.kneeclinic.com.au Page 3 PARROT Peter Mortimer Story by Martin Pickup Peter Mortimer had an outstanding first grade career with Canterbury that is quickly being mirrored by his post- football pursuits. With brothers Steve and Chris, Peter was a key member of the Bulldogs team known as “The Entertainers”, the golden era in the club’s history that delivered premiership success in 1980, 1984 and 1985, and six Grand Finals overall.

It was such a great experience for me growing up and participating in swimming championships offered in the public school system. School Sport offered so many opportunities for myself and gave me so much motivation to perform both in and out of school. Throughout my primary schooling I did well and reached the State Championships, winning medals. In high school my competitive swimming outside of school competition suffered and I was thinking whether or not to continue. When I was 16 I was able to win a medal in the 800metres at the NSWCHSSA Championships and that was a massive boost for me, It was the start of a new chapter in my swimming career. It pushed me to new levels. In Year 11 and Year 12 I was able to make it through to NSW All Schools and then to the National School Swimming Championships where I was able to win medals. The year after leaving school I was selected in my first Australian Open Swimming Team at the 1999 Pan Pacific Championships.
