Roger Clemens Institute For Sports Medicine - ACL Webcast - Sports Medicine
| Roger Clemens Institute For Sports Medicine - ACL Webcast Each year, in the United States alone, it is estimated that one in every 3000 people sustains a ruptured or torn anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) due to trauma or sporting injuries. For most patients, the pain is excruciating and the road to recovery is long. On Thursday, Sept. 27 at 5:30 pm CDT, during a live global Webcast from the Roger Clemens Institute for Sports Medicine and Human Performance at Memorial Hermann in Houston, Texas, orthopedic surgeon Mark Adickes, MD will perform an innovative ACL reconstruction surgery designed to hasten rehabilitation and recovery time. " For patients, the typical goal is to return to activities quickly and without pain , but, if they 're going to have reconstruction surgery, the repair should be durable and should allow them to return to normal activity without limitations, " said Adickes. "The All-Inside RetroConstruction procedure is minimally invasive and achieves all of these goals." Adickes, a former NFL offensive lineman and member of the 1991 Super Bowl Championship Washington Redskins team, is one of the original three surgeons in the country to perform this new technique. Having had two ACL procedures himself and experiencing 18-month recoveries, he was determined to find advanced surgical solutions for his patients. |
