65. Revolutionizing ACL surgical interventions - ACL REPAIR (with Dr. Greg Difelice)

In this episode of the Legacy Podcast, Dr. Gregory DiFelice, an orthopedic surgeon from the Hospital for Special Surgery in New York. discusses his innovative approach to ACL injuries, focusing on ACL repair rather than reconstruction. He explains that ACL repair allows skiers to return to the slopes much faster. With over 15 years of research and practice, Dr. DiFelice has developed a technique that repairs the ligament using minimally invasive procedures, reducing recovery time significantly.  Our conversation delves into the history of ACL treatments, the advantages of repair over reconstruction, and the specific benefits for skiers, emphasizing how this method preserves more of the knee's natural function and offers a quicker, more effective recovery.
