Luisa Stefani’s return from ACL tear
Listen to the Brazilian tennis star share the emotional story behind her ACL injury, the long road to recovery, and the surgeon who ultimately helped her return to the highest level of competition. The Olympic bronze medallist and mixed doubles Grand Slam champion suffered a sudden, complete ACL tear and associated meniscus damage at the US Open that resulted in her meeting Dr Jorge Chahla. Taking about Luisa’s knee ligament reconstruction, lateral extra-articular tenodesis (LET) augmentation and meniscal repair procedures, Dr Chahla provides insights into the surgical decisions for complex knee injuries, which technology choices deliver results, and how effective rehabilitation can help athletes return to sport. This is a story of the physical challenges of an ACL tear, and a message for those who might need surgery due to knee pain or injury. ACL tears are a serious injury, but patients can work toward returning to active lifestyles with the help of an experienced surgeon and effective technology.
