Board-certified orthopedic foot and ankle surgeon Dr. Matthew Buchanan joins the World XP Podcast to explain what athletes often misunderstand about injury and recovery. We discuss Achilles ruptures, recurring ankle sprains, strength and injury prevention, when rest becomes counterproductive, how doctors determine when an athlete is ready to return to play, and why the right amount of loading can be just as important as protecting an injury. We also get into artificial turf, minimally invasive surgery, young athletes, arthritis, and the mental challenge of a long recovery.
