242 | Inside the OR: Important Lessons I Took From Watching ACL Surgery Firsthand - Part 2

from The ACL Athlete Podcast

In this part 2 of the 3-part podcast episode series, we dive into my OR experience with an orthopedic surgeon to uncover the real-world nuances of ACL surgery. From patellar tendon grafts vs. quad tendons, to the impact of graft harvest sites and overlooked donor site rehab, this conversation reveals the “unseen” elements that can make or break ACL recovery. You’ll hear candid insights on graft placement, nerve sensitivity, and the decisions surgeons make that aren’t always driven by what’s billable—but by what’s best for the patient. If you’re rehabbing an ACL or working with someone who is, this series is a must._________Want a clear plan for your ACL rehab?1 on 1 Remote ACL Coaching is for ACLers who are tired of guessing.
