One year follow-up for our awesome patient, who tore his ACL while grappling. While we weren’t able to perform a primary repair, we were able to preserve much of his native tissue during a reconstruction. We recently saw him for his one year follow up. His Lachmeter testing shows just a 0.02 mm difference between his surgical and non-surgical leg, an incredible result! 💪 He’s doing awesome, and showing what’s possible when we prioritize preservation + precision.

Fantastic close to last week and a weekend that couldn’t have started any better. We wrapped up three ACLs on Friday—two primary repairs and one with augmentation—then capped the evening with an absolutely magical bluegrass performance at the Beacon Theatre with Alison Krauss and Union Station. These musicians are truly at the pinnacle of talent. If you haven’t given them a listen, I highly recommend it! Drop a comment if you’re a fan too. Here’s to carrying that energy into the new week—hope yours is off to a great start!

Two years after ACL Primary Repair and back to peak form. Two full ski seasons under her belt, moguls, powder, you name it, and her knee feels 95% perfect. No limits. No issues. 💪

Just 3 months after ACL Primary Repair, but she was already back to yoga by 6 weeks! Swipe to see her showing us child’s pose with ease. Her surgical scars? She says they’re smaller than the ones from a childhood fall on her other knee! Resilience. Healing. Movement. 💪

ACL injuries might not always run in families, but resilience clearly does. This incredible brother–sister duo is proving what a strong mindset can do. He’s 2 years out from an ACL Primary Repair and back playing college football. She’s 1 year out from ACL Primary Repair with Augmentation and heading into her senior year playing soccer.

And Vinnie? No ACL injury here, just the team mascot and emotional support MVP. Proud to be part of their journeys. Onward and upward.

Comeback Alert! We’re celebrating the incredible recovery of our rockstar 22-year-old patient who recently crushed some major milestones:
🏃‍♀️ Ran a half marathon at just 11 months post-op
🥾 Summited Mount Washington on the 1-year anniversary of her ACL repair

Her journey started with a mid-substance ACL tear from a skiing injury. Timing wasn’t right for surgery at first, and during that delay, her ACL began to heal. When it was finally time, I was able to dissect the healing ligament off the PCL and reattach it to its native footprint, no graft needed.

Today, her knees are completely symmetric in strength and stability and she’s back to living life at full speed. Total comeback. Total inspiration. 💪
