Why is it so hard to straighten your knee after ACL surgery?
Something ACL patients, really any knee surgery patient, struggles with the most is regaining full knee extension. Out of surgery, many lay their legs straight, and one knee looks like this, if not worse. Next thing you know they’re walking like this, We’re talking not only the ability to straighten your leg, but the ability to hyperextend your knee. […]
Timing of ACL surgery- is waiting beneficial?
August 7, 2015
This started as a comment exchange from my post on mistakes ACL patients make. “Hey Brian, I’m a few weeks from ACL reconstruction. Everyone’s told me the PT is the most important part of the recovery back to active sports (basketball for me), and I plan on following your manual and the physical therapist’s protocol […]

The most important phase of ACL rehab (info)
April 2, 2014
For a long time I’ve debated putting out an ACL resource. Because the rehab is so long, usually at least 6 months, I wrestled with attempting to make something covering that much time.

A different explanation for Adrian Peterson’s amazing ACL recovery
August 7, 2013
“Amazing.” “Unbelievable.” These are the words most often thrown around when discussing Adrian Peterson’s recovery from reconstructive ACL surgery. His own surgeon, James Andrews, doesn’t have an explanation for how he’s done it. Referring to him as “superhuman.” Andrews is pretty much a god in this world.

Another way to illustrate how serious ACL surgery is
June 17, 2013
This is not meant to be a political post. It’s meant to elucidate how serious ACL surgery is. This is the stuff your surgeon won’t tell you about. I tore my ACL when I was 24 years old, I had surgery 7 months later briefly after turning 25, 18 months later (now) I’m 26 years […]
