1 Day after ACL Surgery at Sanders Clinic (with sound)

This is the same video that was posted November 15th, but with a different sound track.
http://www.sandersclinic.net
Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) injuries are a common orthopaedic problem, especially in sports that are high-contact or involve sudden changes in direction. This particular patient was from Ohio and tore his right ACL while riding motocross. He flew down on a Tuesday and had his operation on a Wednesday. He walked out of the hospital the same day with no crutches or braces and came into the clinic the next day. His dressings were changed, xrays were taken, and he was instructed on what he would be doing while he was in town and when he returned home. This video is of footage from Thursday, approximately 24 hours after surgery. While the footage only shows him walking and using the Shuttle Miniclinic, there are many other exercises involved. His ACL reconstruction involved taking a bone-patellar tendon-bone graft from his left knee and inserting it into his right knee. This graft is what is known as the "gold standard" because of its strength and healing time. For more information about ACL reconstruction at the Sanders Clinic, Dr. Sanders, or other injuries, please visit http://www.sandersclinic.net or call 1-888-8DR MARK.

*These results ARE typical.

For all the doubters out there. You are wrong about this being a fake, plain and simple.

Its largely in the mind. I saw this video and thought no way, but tried it and am able to do the same things. Its my second ACL op and the first time it took me 12 weeks to get off crutches.

Basically the sooner you get off your backside the easier and quicker the rehab will be.

Try it for yourself, and no im not taking strong painkillers.

These videos from Sanders are truly inspirational!

@cdmogulski1 I appreciate that you have found my videos helpful. However, I do not encourage others to do what our patients do. Our operations are tailored such that the patients will be able to tolerate and not be harmed by our aggressive rehab. Anyone else' rehab program should be established by their surgeon. If he/she says that you need a cast for a month, then that's what you have to do. If somone is unhappy with a rehab programmme, then they should be operated on by another surgeon.

no way i had my acl reconstruction 4 weeks ago by notre dame football team doctor and i couldnt walk till about a week and half and any sooner i would kill myself cause of pain.

[Hooahgoarmy]

Fake bullshit. 1 day...ya right. Because we all know that you can walk with no pain after being cut open and muscles torn apart.

I was surprised he didn't start doing the moonwalk

[tatumdow5]

This is fake I could barely feel my leg the day after..

[DCUnited1868]

This is bull shit. I had acl surgery two weeks ago, and whilst can just about limp without crutches, my physio didnt recommend even trying to walk without crutches for 2 weeks, to keep the weight off and swelling down. I'm glad im in Europe and not the US, where private clinics dupe patients with this shit. I'd be concerned about the priavtisation of health and quality of the doctors.

Video its fake i had acl surgery 2 days ago a can barley move without crutches

[charismaswagg]

The new revolutionary treatment that is taking over minor surgeries is called PROLOTHERAPY! Type it in on Youtube! Cost efficient, removes arthritis, rejuvenates joints/ligaments, eliminates pain completely, and annihilates popping noises!

*Jesus Saves*

What is the difference between your method as opposed to other acl recon methods? I'm about 20 hrs post-op from an allograft acl recon, and can't imagine doing more than the recommended PCM machine starting at 0-30. Surgically what do you do different as far as placement of the graft? For the affected knee, I can't see why there would be a difference between allograft and patellor tendon
