Hoskins’ latest injury is a heartbreaker, for the fans and the player himself, as it is likely to keep him off the field for the rest of the season. The 30 year old, who has been with the Phillies since 2014, will be eligible for free agency after this season. To better understand Hoskins’ injury, The Inquirer spoke to Mark Desmond, an orthopedic surgeon at Temple University Hospital who did not examine Hoskins but has experience with the knee and ACLs.In the top of the second inning of Thursday’s game, the Tigers’ Austin Meadows lined a ground ball toward first base. Hoskins broke back to field it, but took an awkward step and fell to the ground, clutching his left knee.
Kyle Schwarber helped Hoskins on to a cart that transported him off the field. Before Hoskins departed, a few players, including Nick Castellanos, Brandon Marsh, and Bryson Stott, shook his hand.The ACL is one of the two ligaments at the center of the knee and contributes to the joint’s capacity to move back and forth and pivot, as well as the knee’s overall stability. Unlike its less delicate twin,, the ACL can tear easily. This can happen as a result of abrupt stops or changes in direction.
“A classic ACL tear is a non-contact injury,” Desmond said. “[The person’s] foot is planted and in a slightly bent position, and then their body is turning.”“Professional athletes get these, college athletes get these, weekend warriors get these,” Desmond said.» READ MORE:
