ACL Tear (Torn ACL)

Maria Deidan

More than a year ago a ski accident led to a complete tear on my right ACL and I needed surgery for its reconstruction. Dr. Moira McCarthy took care of it and she truly engaged with my whole surgery process in a very professional and caring way. I have to say it was my first surgery and she took care of all my concerns; she did an amazing job! Then she supported me with all the post-surgery advice and physical therapy that I needed.

The result: all this inspired me to fully recover and furthermore I started being extremely active (I wasn't before, so things happen for a good reason!) Now I find myself working out, doing strength training, spinning, TRX, yoga, and I even trained and ran my first 5k in Ridgefield CT almost 3 weeks ago making a good time for being a beginner!! I just feel great at 45 and my right knee is as strong as ever! Thanks for all your support Dr. McCarthy!!
