Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) injury is one of the most common knee injuries I see in my clinic. I have been practicing for 25 years, and the surgical treatment and physical therapy that follow have changed dramatically. We continue to study and perfect the surgical procedure, as well as study and modify recovery and rehab.

Dr. Catherine Logan and Emily Perrin, LCSW .resilience.coach, from Denver, Colorado, have developed an incredible program called The Unbroken Athlete . This program supports mental health and toughness, recovery, mindfulness, and grit as the athlete progresses from injury to return to play. I am super excited to include this in my recovery protocol. I do not believe we, as orthopedic surgeons, address this truly important part of recovery well.

Check out their website, which explains all of the programs and their purpose. They have app-based programs with short modules that address every phase of recovery.

I am genuinely a huge fan of their mission and I'm excited to see what this project does for ACL patients and their mental health!

This past weekend, I went back to see my mom in western North Carolina. Hurricane Helene devastated this area just over a year ago, and they’re still cleaning up, moving trees and rocks, rebuilding bridges. It’s been a true testament to community effort, neighbors helping neighbors. The survival and “carry on” mentality is incredible.

I was lucky enough to work out at my sister’s gym, TRAIN4LIFE, in Boone, NC. It’s an amazing place with every type of weight training and fitness machine you can imagine - I love it. I love the TRAIN4LIFE mantra. Later that day, I was moving dirt, rocks, and stumps, and I felt grateful to have the fitness to do hard, heavy things.

Stay fit and stay healthy so you can do the things you love! That “life” might mean playing with your kids, your grandkids, going for hikes, riding your bike, or tackling a crazy endurance race. Fitness and strength now mean prolonging your healthspan. Set some goals. Train for a better you in the future. TRAIN for LIFE!

As we get older, life has a way of pushing exercise to the bottom of the list. Between work, family, and other responsibilities, it’s easy to lose track of our health.

Over time, the effects show up with stiff joints, weight gain, and lower energy levels.

The good news is that it's never too late to start moving again. Here’s my recommendation for anyone looking to get active later in life:

1. Start small and be consistent.

2. Focus on strength, mobility, and cardiovascular health.

3. Choose movements you enjoy so it doesn’t feel like a chore.

4. Most importantly, listen to your body so you can recover well and make this a long term change.

Your future self will thank you!

Krista Zbyszinski has achieved her goal of playing college volleyball! Recently she was moved to starting Libero for Bryan College in Dayton, Tennessee.

Krista tore her ACL in high school and worked with determination and focus to return to sports. Unfortunately, soon after she returned to normal activity, she tore her ACL on the other side. Of course, she was devastated - she knew the hardship that was coming and how hard and long the first recovery had been.

Without hesitation, she refocused and got the job done. Her positive attitude was incredible. By staying committed to her short-term goals, she accomplished her big one. She’s back playing and has achieved her dream of competing in college volleyball.

Well done, Krista! 👏

Since my 50K a few weeks ago, I’ve really been prioritizing active recovery. Active recovery is crucial post-race because it helps your body bounce back, keeps blood flowing, and prevents soreness from sticking around.

That’s meant lots of walks, keeping up with my daily challenges for fall strength, and mixing up my cardio methods. I’ve been giving my legs a big rest after all the training and the race, so I’ve been hitting the bike, pool, and rower a lot. This past weekend, I did a 15-mile ride in Pocahontas State Park. It felt amazing to move without pounding my legs.

Congratulations to for scoring her first college goal at Dickinson College!

Anna tore her ACL at the highlight of her high school career. She was devastated, but she turned that into the desire to return to soccer and play for Dickinson, where she had already signed. She rehabbed and trained with Adams Performance@adamsperformance. She accepted the over one-year time frame to return to play and understood her freshman year would not be 100%. Through her hard work, determination, and discipline, SHE IS BACK!

I asked her how that first goal felt. Her response was awesome:

“When I scored my first goal, it was more than that. I realized how much I missed that feeling of seeing the ball hit the back of the net. It was also a realization that all the hard work, the tough days when I wanted to quit, the hours of rehab sessions, and the doubt along the way were all worth it.”

Great job!
