Surgeons Get Surgery Too! A Physician’s ACL Reconstruction Story Surgeons Get Surgery Too! A Physician’s ACL Reconstruction Story
Surgeons Get Surgery Too! A Physician’s ACL Reconstruction Story It all happened so fast...I recently tore my ACL in our resident faculty annual soccer match on the turf at Chelsea Piers.

In fact, many older adults probably have a small tear without significant sympto…

Maybe you tore your ACL skiing or playing recreational basketball, or your child tore his or her ACL playing competitive sports. Most ACL injuries are non-contact meaning that a collision is not necessary for the injury to occur. At the time of injury, people commonly feel a “pop” within the knee followed by pain, difficulty walking, swelling within the knee and reduced range of motion of the knee. What do y…

Fairfield County Resident Hopes To Get Back On Her Horse Thanks To LYMBR Fairfield County Resident Hopes To Get Back On Her Horse Thanks To LYMBR
Fairfield County Resident Hopes To Get Back On Her Horse Thanks To Lymbr Lucia will never know for sure what caused her beloved palomino mare Butterscotch to be extra jumpy that day in February 2016. But the Fairfield County resident’s skill wasn’t enough when her horse bucked at the sound of a truck backfiring and Lucia landed on the frozen ground of a trail she rode regularly in Bedford, N.Y. A passerby found Lucia trying to crawl for help and she was taken to the hospital, where she learned that she had not only shattered her pelvis, but had three broken vertebrae and a torn hamstring as well. Seven months post-accident, with approximately the first 16 weeks …
