Colton Carline

While playing football at only 10 years old, Colton was injured during a tackle in his first scrimmage of the year. The MRI confirmed he had a complete tear of his right ACL. The shock and disbelief set in as Colton’s family scrambled to find the appropriate care for his case. A few days later, we met with Dr. Fabricant at HSS, who perfectly crafted a plan for treatment and recovery. Colton immediately began physical therapy to prepare him for surgery a few weeks later. Colton underwent a flawless surgery and quickly began his recovery process. It was a long 12 months to recovery for Colton. He worked every day in physical therapy to reach his goals quickly despite the countless disappointments due to his limitations and desire to get back on the field and court as fast as possible. Despite these disappointments, Colton showed tremendous growth, resilience, strength, and grit. After 12 months, he was cleared to return to full activity and quickly returned to baseball, basketball, and snowboarding stronger than before the injury. Thank you to Dr. Fabricant and the entire team at HSS for providing Colton with the best possible care and guiding us every step of the way from surgery to recovery.
