5 Weeks after ACL Reconstruction at Sanders Clinic

http://www.sandersclinic.net
This video was filmed 5 weeks after this 26 year old skier had her left ACL surgically reconstructed using her contralateral bone-patellar tendon-bone graft. The surgery was performed by Mark Sanders, MD FAAOS at the Sanders Clinic for Orthopaedic Surgery and Sports Medicine in Houston, Texas. This is a follow up video (five weeks after surgery) on the patient from the video "1 day after ACL surgery at Sanders Clinic II" and "1 week after ACL reconstruction at Sanders Clinic". In this video, the patient is walking stairs, performing step-ups, and performing basic plyometrics as part of her accelerated rehabilitation. For more information on ACL reconstruction at the Sanders Clinic, Dr. Sanders, accelerated rehabilitation, or any other injury, please visit our website at http://www.sandersclinic.net or call 1-888-8 DR-MARK. Thanks for watching!

*These results ARE typical.

wish you were closer to me, then I would come see you. At 28 years of age, I shouldn't feel "restricted" in my activities. Never had surgery, but was told to pretty much give up sports and snowboarding, and I quote, "You should just avoid those activities."

@bnanamkin  where do you live?

[huggibunny527]

My life wasnt living hell and i had the acl harvested from the same knee i tore my leg didnt even hurt the only time my knee hurt was right after i woke up from surgery and that was the only time i was in pain my entire surgery anyother time i had absolutely no pain at all just because u harvest it from the other leg doesnt mean its going to hurt less it just means u r going to have a little longer recovery cause u have to wait for both knee s to heal

[sandersclinic]

The opposite patella tendon is harvested such that the post op pain and need for rehab is divided amongst both knees. Both knees rehab at the same time. The advantage is that in dedicated athletes, they can safely return to sports at three mohths.  Our clinic doesnt accept couch potatoes who watch rather than participate in sports,

Sanders Clinic is best clinic ever, but fucking far from my country :/

I've gone to Dr. Mark for a broken tib/fib/ BEST move of my life. The videos are all real the results i achieved are amazing. Goto Texas and see him you will not regret it if you have any questions on my experience msg me and i'll be happy to talk.

I am 30y/o male, active and strong legs from cycling. I have watched many of the Saunders videos before and after my ACL reconstruction (hamstring graft), MCL repair, and cartilage and meniscus repair surgery 4 weeks ago. I was skeptical about some of the 1 Day after surgery videos, but I think its possible if you only under went ACL reconstruction and no damage to your cartilage/meniscus. Do your physio BEFORE and AFTER surgery. Push yourself within the doctors orders. Its a slow process.

This is very real. My 14 year old daughter just had her ACL repaired by Dr. Sanders on Wednesday August 3, 2011. Today is August 6, 2011 and she had done everything I have seen in the videos from the Sanders Clinic. She had a complete ACL reconstruction. She is already bending her knees to 145 degrees. Dr. Sanders has called everyday to the Therapist, Allen, to check on her progress. She is only three days out and started doing wall squats today.

video was nice to see. i recently torn my acl and its been pretty rough. 2 weeks have passed since the injury, surgery is needed, but yet i am apparently way behind in my degree of motion for this time period according to my surgeon. i am a die hard ball player who wants nothing more to be back on the diamond and to be back to work, i work as a bouncer. anyone out there have any advice for me about how to prepare myself for the apparent long road ahead? anything at this point is appreciated.thnx

@davem732006 its called shut the fuck up by suck my dick

[tunney101]

you are hot

[n03113]

@sandersclinic I'm sure you'll accept anyone who throws money at you to do the surgery and rehab - I just finished reconstruction surgery a few days ago and have begun the PT. I'm very lucky that my doctors urged me to get the surgery despite my recent lack of time to dedicate to my activities I enjoy. I think it's appalling - using youtube to advertise your clinic only to make such a careless statement. Non sports folks deserve medical treatment just as any other.
