Are you being told you may need a knee replacement? For many active adults, the idea of joint replacement surgery feels premature.
For athletes and weekend warriors, a focal cartilage defect in the knee often feels like a permanent roadblock to high-impact activities.
For athletes and active individuals, suffering an injury used to mean a long, frustrating road of rest, physical therapy, and sometimes invasive surgery.
For athletes and active individuals, ACL injuries can be life-changing. They often require surgery that replaces the torn ligament to restore an active lifestyle.
