ACL Tear (Torn ACL)

McKenzie Figliolini

I tore my ACL while skiing during my senior year of college. I was told I needed to get a total reconstruction and that my recovery would take several months. I had countless things coming up that I did not want to miss, like walking at my college graduation, my sister's wedding, and post graduation travel. Then I found Dr. DiFelice and he told me about ACL repair surgery, which has a significantly better recovery time.

I had surgery in April and was able to walk at my college graduation in May with no brace or crutches! I even was able to dance at my sister's wedding in June (in heels!). I am so thankful for Dr. DiFelice and his ACL repair. Without it, I would have missed on so many memorable moments.
