Tests, Treatments and Therapies at Alexian Brothers Sports Medicine
At Alexian Brothers Orthopedics Services, our goal is simple: to return you to normal function as quickly and safely as possible. To reach this goal, our medical team uses a comprehensive, leading-edge approach to the prevention, assessment, treatment and rehabilitation of orthopedic (bone and muscle) injuries.
An example would be the person suffering from an injured or torn anterior cruciate ligament (ACL). The ACL ligament helps hold the bones of the knee together and is most often injured due to a sudden stop, twist or blow to the knee. ACL injuries are most common among athletes, especially women, but they can happen to anyone at any age.
Two widely accepted techniques are available to treat ACL injuries:
- using tissue taken from another area on your body
- using donor tissue.
The staff of highly trained surgeons, nurses, physician assistants, and rehabilitation specialists at Alexian Brothers Orthopedic Services can help you make the choice about which treatment is best for you.
