ACL reconstruction and return to sport.

ACL tears bring instability: swelling, “giving way,” and loss of confidence. I use accelerated protocols to get you back safely, analyzing biomechanics, graft choice, and milestones before you return to play.

Patellar instability: does your knee “slide out”?

Common in young patients. Precise alignment, strengthening, and when needed, anatomical reconstruction to stabilize.

Tendinopathies: not every front-knee pain is bone

Patellar tendinopathy requires the right diagnosis to choose active rest, physio, or surgery.

Key question

How long to return to play after ACL reconstruction?

With accelerated protocols, stability often returns around 4–6 months depending on your sport. Includes guided physio, bracing, and close monitoring to avoid setbacks.

Accelerated recovery protocols

Phase 1: swelling control and early motion.

Phase 2: strength and stability with proprioception.

Phase 3: progressive return to sport with clear metrics.

My comprehensive approach

Minimally invasive surgery, early rehab, and return-to-sport coaching so you can compete with confidence.

Plan your comeback

Graft choice

BTB, hamstrings, or allograft?

BTB autograft

High demand athletes; fast fixation, solid return.

Hamstrings

Less anterior knee pain; great for recreational athletes.

Allograft

Useful in revisions or to avoid donor site morbidity.

Internal bracing

Tapes/augments to protect the graft in early weeks.

Return-to-sport metrics

• Quad strength ≥90% vs. the other side.
• Jump and stability tests without major asymmetry.
• Neuromuscular control and athlete confidence.
