Highlights From the
Marc Darrow, M.D.,J.D. Radio Show
ACL Problems
A caller with a question on our radio show

CALLER: My husband is 35, he played soccer for many years and about 3 years ago he had to have the ACL on both knees repaired. His right knee has given him more problems than the other one. Read more


ACL Problems
A caller with a question on our radio show

Dr. Darrow:
The caller on the line now had a torn ACL, he had one surgery several years ago where they actually cut open (an incision) because I remember the scar on his leg, (that had) to be at least a foot long. Back then the surgery was very evasive, now they do it an arthroscopy. Many of these ACL surgeries are unnecessary. Doctors are trained to think that the ACLs are necessary and any one who rips one can't be an athlete. But we find that many athletes go on and compete without them. Prolotherapy allows us to stabilize the ligaments in the knee and people with deficient ACLs can still do their sport. Read more
