One of the names I noticed on a few publications was Dr. Mackay at The Mackay Clinic, who it turns out pioneered the InternalBrace, and found the following:
“2 International Netball players have regained pre-injury levels of function 12 weeks after their ACL rupture has been treated with the internal brace.
“with the healing of their ACL confirmed by MRI. These exceptional outcomes are partly explained by the procedure’s preservation of nerve and blood supply and the avoidance of donor site problems thanks to the IB fixation, although the duration of recovery is also determined by the individual and the unique nature of their injury. The Internal Brace is quickly becoming a standard procedure in skiing and impact sports, especially in the USA,”

I started looking up everything I could find on this, so I could talk about having it done here during my next appointment this week at AKIC with my sports medicine doctor at University of Calgary.
Side note related to stairs - I also recall a meeting to explore a possible Operations Manager position with a fast growing startup May 2nd. They had stairs and I hoped they didn't ask me to walk up them to where the offices are – stairs were very difficult at this point – luckily we had it in the main area which was a nice change. Still tried to make it less obvious.
