Know & GO Podcast | Ep. 6: ACL Injury Recovery

AFTER THE TEAR: Knee Specialist Dr. Semon Bader Rejoins The Show For A Deeper Dive Into The Specifics And Details Of ACL Injury Recovery •

For our sixth episode, the show welcomes back Dr. Semon Bader. Dr. Bader first joined Know & GO in our second episode to talk about the overall basics of the dreaded ACL tear. This episode, we got a little more in depth on the post-operative ACL recovery process.

What happens in the surgery? How long does it last? What’s the first 24 hours like, followed by the first three, six and nine months? What are the recovery benchmarks athletes can focus on, and what happens if they have a setback? (For that matter, what setbacks can occur?). We ask Dr. Bader all the questions, and he answered each of them during a 15-minute break at the bustling hub of his clinic.
