ACL Tear (Torn ACL)

Sofia S.

I am a competitive fencer and tore my ACL at a National Championship in early January. I had surgery with Dr. Frank Cordasco on January 31, 2024, and I was released at 6.1 months (tons of PT and strengthening) to fence. I just won my 2nd medal at 9 months post-op and qualified for the Junior Olympics in February 2025! Dr. Cordasco and his team have me back stronger than before. Thank you so much for getting me Back in the Game. I plan to fence Division 1 in college and am currently a high school sophomore and junior ROTC.
