ACL Tear (Torn ACL)

Alex Thomas

I had an ACL augmentation performed by Dr. DiFelice in November of 2015, and was back playing golf and running by March of 2016. My brother and roommate from college had 2 and 3 ACL reconstructions respectively, and both said from day one that my recovery was miles ahead of theirs. Everything including range of motion, pain, return to running, etc. was significantly improved vs. the reconstructions they received. My physical therapists also noted how much faster the recovery was as opposed to others who had the traditional reconstruction surgery. I was initially skeptical of the surgery but walked through it with Dr. DiFelice and it made all the sense in the world. I am now 6 months out and my knee feels completely back to normal.
