All ACL injuries must be taken seriously, which is why you need to get the best surgeons, so you can significantly reduce your recovery time and improve your post-recovery strength. MSK Doctors (01522 904 420) does it all, and you never have to wait.
Did you know that the vast majority of ACL injuries are considered "non-contact"?
That means no large or fast force directly impacted the area - it didn't hit the ground too hard, and nothing hit it either.
Sometimes, all it takes is a rapid movement in the wrong direction, at the wrong time.
Unfortunately, as fast as an ACL tear can occur, it can often take quite a long time to get it seen, diagnosed, and eventually treated - and even when you do, then you have to start the long, slow recovery time.
Now, I'm not trying to bum you out - I'm just lining up the facts so that you'll understand why what I tell you next is so, so important.
You don't have to wait, and there are objectively better surgical options if you know where to look.
All you have to do is contact MSK Doctors because they're not your ordinary clinic. They're a private option, located in London, UK, and they do things... a little differently. For example, they let you book your own appointments, with no referral, and no waiting list.
Don't take my word for it though, you can try it out yourself, right now, at https://www.mskdoctors.com/ - just click "Book Online" in the top right corner, or call them to schedule an appointment.
If you're calling them about an ACL injury, then you're going to be pleasantly surprised because it's one of the things they do best - and that will make a huge difference in your recovery. I'll tell you all about why, but the short version is simple, they use a totally new technique that's been improved in just about every way.
While the new technique is not yet in standard use at most clinics, because that requires a lot of retraining, it has been researched and perfected over 15 years in France and Australia and has eliminated or reduced several of the most common issues with ACL surgery. One key benefit of this new technique is a 50% reduction in damage to your hamstrings.
Well, actually, by a 50% reduction in damage, what I meant is that they harvest 50% less hamstring.
Normally, to fix an ACL tear, the surgeon would harvest two hamstrings, and cause a significant amount of damage to the Gracilis muscle. With the new method, the surgeons at MSK Doctors can harvest only one hamstring, and reduce the damage to your Gracilis muscle, which means less surgical trauma, and a faster recovery.
Their new surgical method also makes several smaller improvements, which add up to serious benefits. They use outside-in drilling, superior tape and screw affixation, and a press-fit design - so everything is held together snugly, with a minimum of damage.
Together, these changes have been shown to provide a stronger fixation of 1500 N, compared to the traditional surgery which provides 900 N, and this has resulted in a higher success rate and lower risk of post-surgery injury.
There's no better way to get you back on your feet, fast, than getting you in for an immediate appointment with a top surgical team, that can help to reduce your recovery time.
Of course, even if you haven't torn your ACL (lucky you), MSK Doctors still has a lot to offer.
Personally, my favourite is their near-immediate appointments for diagnostic scans. The clinic has access to X-rays, MRIs, and the only Open MRI scanner in the county, which allows scans to capture joints even when they are in motion.
Sometimes, the newest, shiniest tools, and fanciest advanced procedures, can make all the difference.
When it comes to your recovery, that's important.
