Here is an inspirational story for Easter Weekend. This patient story is incredible. BEWARE- this video is a VERY GRAPHIC example of severe knee injuries! As I recall, she was knocked off the back of a motorcycle in an accident and THEN run over by a truck! She was in the DR and at the first hospital they told her they needed to AMPUTATE both of her legs at the thigh! She left, and the next hospital told her she was fine and put her in some knee immobilizers and discharged her. She managed to get MRIs on her own that showed she was not fine at all. She had fracture dislocated both knees tearing ACL/PCL/LCL/Posterolateral Corner on both knees! Amazingly she got to the US and I happened to be on call for the Trauma Center when she presented. Given such severe injuries, together we agreed I would do a smaller, damage control procedure- that is, PRIMARILY REPAIR all of the ligaments to try and get her back on her feet. We would save the bigger, more morbid reconstructions for a later date only if needed. As you can see, in this case giving the body a chance to heal wasn’t such a bad choice! Total surgical time for both knees was less than it would have taken to reconstruct one knee! She is currently 2 years out and doing very well. Knees are stable!

ACL Rehab
‼️Reactionary Running‼️
This is a video compilation of our athlete who had ACL reconstruction.
❗️TAG a baller ⛹️♀️ who has had ACL surgery❗️
In this phase of rehab we focus on the reactionary component of cutting and running.
Reactive drills are often overlooked in ACL rehab. We have to train our athletes to react to an external stimuli to simulate return to sport activities.
We use running as a component to react to simulate game like situations.
Here are some simple drills that we like to use with our athletes.
The athlete jumps into place and once he lands is forced to run towards where the coach points.

When I was a resident training in orthopedic surgery in the 1990s, I was taught that the ACL couldn’t heal and that’s why we did reconstruction for everyone. However when I went out to practice my experience taught me different. I followed my gut instinct and it has been 10 years since I did my first ACL primary repair. Now I have repaired well over 200 patients with excellent results. This video shows a great example of the healing potential of the ACL. Check out the capillaries running up the injured ligament! I put my faith in the healing potential of the human body every time!! #savetheACL
TAM OG-style - Been going back to this gem a bit over last few weeks, as it does not require knees on ground. Today was able to do the whole thing without modifying!!! (Minus the squats in warm up/cool down). This is no joke - especially the arm sequences which are real burners #tracyandersonmethod #tracyandersononlinestudio #tamily #aclrecovery #aclrepair #aclreconstruction
SamSam! The happy face of a doggo that got his stitches out, and is officially free from the cone! Two weeks of bed rest down, six more weeks to go! #SamSamSaysFurkBedrest #HomieWantsToRun #CorgisInRehab #TPLOSurgery #ACLRepair #BedRest #CorgiRescue #SoCalCorgiRescue #CorgiNation #QueensBestStumpyDogRescue #QBSDR
Today’s the day for SamSam! Positive vibes for our boy as he goes under the knife to repair his left knee. He’ll be discharged on Tuesday, followed by the most challenging part...8wks of bed rest! Thank you to everyone that’s contributed towards Sam’s care, Dr. Balara, and the staff at VCA Animal Specialty Group for taking great care of this special boy! #TPLOSurgery #ACLRepair #CorgisInRehab #CorgiRescue #SoCalCorgiRescue #QueensBestStumpyDogRescue #QBSDR
I enjoyed having Dr Nabil Najihi from Rennes, France visit yesterday. We shared surgical approaches and he showed me the way that he had adapted my ACL repair approach to meet his needs. As I have said from the beginning, my goal with ACL Repair was to start the worldwide conversation about it, and then via worldwide dialogue amongst forward thinking surgeons, make it better and better. It seems to be gaining momentum!
