Researchers did find one high-impact sport that hurt patients â?? so-called power lifting, which involves squatting and then lifting a bar with lots of weights off the ground and over your head.
â??Thatâ??s very bad for the knee. Two patients in the series were practicing and both needed a revision,â?? Dr. Parratte says. â??All the charges are going through the knee in a bad manner and itâ??s hundreds of pounds on the knee in a short amount of time.â??
