ACL Reconstruction: March 2017
Kelli has a deep love for running and basketball, but while training for the 2017 Paris Marathon, she injured her knee during a basketball game. “At first I thought that an opposing team player kicked me in back of the knee,” she recalls.
Refusing to go to the emergency room, she consulted with a trusted friend and sports medicine specialist, Michael D Dambeck, DO. After suspecting that she injured her ACL, he referred her to Dr. Anthony Petrosini of the Orthopaedic Institute Brielle Orthopaedics. During Kelli’s first examination with Dr. Petrosini, he showed her the MRI which confirmed a torn ACL and recommended reconstructive surgery. Kelli, trusting the referral from her friend and Dr. Petrosini’s expertise, proceeded with surgery so that she could return to an active lifestyle.
Two days after surgery, she began physical therapy with Leon Galante at Peak Physical Therapy. Dr. Petrosini would visit frequently during therapy sessions to check on her and to see how she was handling the pain and recovery. Kelli set a goal to start running again as soon as possible and, in just under 8 months after surgery, she ran a marathon. Two years later, she continues to run and train for various race distances.
“Patient’s like Kelli who desires to stay active at a high level, even after their collegiate career is completed, are becoming more and more common. Modern ACL reconstructive techniques allow them to not only stay in the game but to remain competitive as well.”
– Dr. Anthony Petrosini
