McMinnville Football Disaster: 18 Players Hospitalized After Workout
Posted by Sam On August - 23 - 2010
Three Oregon high school football players had surgery and 10 remained hospitalized after developing a rare soft-tissue condition that has school authorities puzzled. Nineteen McMinnville High School players experienced compartment syndrome, which caused soreness and swelling in their triceps and high levels of creatine kinase, a protein that can harm the kidneys. Three players had surgery to relieve swelling. All 19 players are expected to recover, but the cause of their injuries remained unclear.
Officials said the condition could be a result of exercise or the use of certain medications.
