UPMC Sports Surgery Clinic’s Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon Professor Brian Devitt joined Robbie Brennan, Meath Senior Men’s Football Manager, and Frank Roche, Gaelic Games Correspondent with the Irish Independent, on RTÉ Radio 1’s ‘Today with David McCullagh’ to discuss the growing incidence of ACL injuries across Gaelic games.
The panel explored why these serious knee injuries are becoming increasingly common among players of all ages and abilities, the impact on athletes and teams, and the importance of injury prevention, early diagnosis, and access to specialist care. The discussion highlighted the challenges facing Gaelic sports and examined ways to reduce the risk of ACL injuries at every level of the game.
