‘We’re never going to get rid of cruciate problem’

Top knee surgeon Ray Moran admits there is currently little that can be done to prevent cruciate ligament injuries.

Last weekend, Wexford’s Tomás Waters and Waterford’s Martin O’Neill damaged their ACLs (anterior cruciate ligaments), the latest in a long line of inter-county players including three-time victim Colm O’Neill.

At Moran’s Sports Surgery Clinic base in Santry, a new pitch lab has been developed to investigate what can be done to avoid groin injuries.
