An Interview of Dr. Derek Ochiai
The midfielder catches a pass over the shoulder on a break. Only one defender has a chance at stopping the play. One quick spin move and the defender is foolishly waving at air. However, instead of a 1-on-1 with the goalie, the midfielder lies on the ground, clutching a knee. Sound familiar? Unfortunately for many, it probably does. So we talked to Dr. Derek Ochiai, an orthopaedic surgeon in Northern Virginia, about ACL injuries.
