: N v 00 in tine VISXS) spotlight SAT.. NOVEMBER 3, 1979 THE CAROLINA TIMES -11 tyt: V) Pain and injury 'All Part of the Game' Bobby Orr's knee may be the most famous in the country. Hockey fans have followed the progress of Orr's disabling injury, agonizing with him through his many operations and comebacks. But at age 30. Orr's hockey career is over despite all the efforts of surgeons. Many other athletes have shared this fate, but a new branch of medicine promises to help prevent and cure injuries for professional and amateur athletes alike. NOVA explores the world of sports medicine in 'All Part of the Game.' Nov. 6. on PBS as part two of a two-part special on science and sports. One of the most impressive success stories of sports medicine is that of former Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Tommy John. When John tore a ligament in his elbow, even his surgeon, Dr. Frank Jobe, doubted he would ever pitch again. But an innovative surgical technique plus intensive rehabilitation returned him to the game. Now, as a Yankee pitcher, he is a star. Surgery is not always the answer. When tennis player Janet Newberry found her career threatened by a knee injury, traditional treatment surgery and rest didn't help. Sports medicine specialist Dr. John Marshall prescribed exercise, carefully planned to strengthen the muscle above her knee and to hold her kneecap in place. Working with her trainer, Newberry learned a new style of play that avoids unnecessary strain on her knee; sports medicine has allowed her to continue her career. Athletic injuries are not unique to professional athletes. The physical fitness craze has brought on an increase in injuries among amateurs, especially runners. NOVA visits Dr. Stan James of Eugene, Oregon, who films runners in slow motion to learn what movements may cause problems. Dr. James has found that one common problem, excessive pronation an inward turn of thejoot as the runner lands on it can be solved by placing a support pad inside the shoe. This simple device is know as an 'orthodic,' one of the most important runners' aids of the past decade. 'All Part of the Game' also examines sports medicine's role in the prevention of injuries to children. It's a myth that children don't get hurt easily because they are flexible. In fact, young bones are relatively weak and injury-prone. At New York's Lenox Hill Institute of Sports Medicine, a long-term research project aimed at relating specific injuries to body-type is allowing doctors to guide children away from sports incompatible with their body-type. Sports medicine is still in its infancy as a medical specialty, but it holds a great deal of promise for the future. And as sports medicine becomes more widely practiced, athletes may no longer have to accept the risk of serious, disabling injuries as all part of the game. Check lilting for exact time.
