Encouraging Evidence in Support of ACL Preservation

Celebrating about a decade of advanced orthopedic treatment resulting in ACL tear regrowth and results. About a year ago I participate in this study to help contribute results.  

It’s amazing public health is still not offering this, and much of the the orthopedic community is a decade behind current practices.

I’m border line starting a petition for to get Alberta Health to stop unnecessary body part removal and protect orthopedic surgeons from a class action lawsuit from the 1100 or so patients a year receiving the wrong procedure.

Radiologist interpretation influenced by lack of exposure to this type of repair and therefore may not accurately reflect actual condition in tissue remodeling.

This is a general problem, despite ACL regrowth being practiced for 10 years most orthopedic surgeons are not practicing current method, and as a result radiologists do not have exposure they otherwise would have.
