ACL Repair VS ACL Reconstruction
ACL Repair(Preservation First®)
Dr. DiFelice is a pioneer in the innovative ACL repair surgery. After 15 years and hundreds of patients successfully receiving an ACL repair procedure, we can now compare the surgical outcomes to the traditional ACL reconstruction procedure.
ACL Reconstruction
The majority of ortho surgeons will ONLY recommend ACL reconstruction to their patients. This is how ACL reconstruction compares to ACL repair.

INNOVATIVE APPROACH TO SURGERY
PRESERVATION FIRST®
With modern imaging, surgical technology, and rehabilitation techniques, it is possible for patients with ACL injuries to have less invasive surgical options to restore stability of the knee and get back in the game. Dr. DiFelice has been using and improving his Preservation First® method of ACL repair for over a decade, which allows the body a chance to heal itself with as little surgical intervention as possible.

Left knee meniscectomy
Doctor and staff went above and beyond my expectations.
ACL Repair 14 year old gymnast
Dr. DiFelice is awesome! My 14 year old daughter tore her ACL and needed surgery. She is a competitive cheerleader and gymnast, so this was a huge set back for her. He performed a new type of surgery that was less invasive than the traditional surgery. Only a few short days after the surgery, my daughter was moving around with very little pain. She was at 100% strength and range of motion after only 7 weeks, and resumed activities after only 11 weeks!
Hamstring tear with large hematoma
The procedure greatly alleviated the pain. This happened just before Christmas and I greatly Dr. DiFelice efforts to get this surgery done. In one day, evaluation, clearance for other medical issues, surgery that evening. The timeliness of the surgery was important as to delay till after Christmas would have left me in a lot of pain for much longer and delaying to the later date such surgery may not have been useful.
Wonderful, life changing
I found the whole experience extremely simple and greatly satisfying. Dr. DeFelice answered every question I had and walked my wife and I through the entire process. Every prediction he told us clearly came through and we knew what to expect and what to do. His depth of knowledge and expertise was both comforting and re-assuring. Am pain free and walking/ hiking/ enjoying myself again.
Knee Surgery
I am so thankful. I was not able to walk without assistance for the two months prior to surgery. Now two months after my arthroscopic knee surgery, I have finished with therapy and am walking without pain or assistance.
