241 | Inside the OR: Important Lessons I Took From Watching ACL Surgery Firsthand - Part 1

In this part 1 of the 3-part podcast episode series, I take you inside the OR to share fresh, front-row takeaways from watching multiple ACL surgeries—BPTB autografts, meniscectomies vs repairs, and lateral extra-articular tenodesis (LET). You’ll hear how surgical volume and precision matter, why symptoms compound when procedures stack, and what real-time decisions look like when a surgeon weighs repairability and patient compliance. Clinicians and ACLers alike will walk away with practical insights to set expectations, respect precautions, and make smarter early-phase rehab calls._________Want a clear plan for your ACL rehab?1 on 1 Remote ACL Coaching is for ACLers who are tired of guessing.
