Interview with Dr. Cédric Ngbilo

This video explains common knee injuries among footballers, such as anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) ruptures, patellar tendinitis, and meniscal tears. It covers the mechanisms, surgical and conservative treatments, and rehabilitation stages. The goal is to provide a better understanding of the appropriate care for football players.

""The serve is both the most important and the most unhealthy movement in tennis.""

""Soft strings, soft racket, soft ball – that's the rule to protect your shoulder.""

""The player needs to be relaxed to avoid tensions that cause injuries.""
