Now that you have decided to have<br />
<strong>ACL</strong> reconstructive surgery, we want<br />
to help answer some questions that<br />
patients often have. Our goal is to<br />
provide you with information about<br />
what you can expect before, during,<br />
and after your stay with us.<br />
This guidebook is divided into four<br />
sections to make it easy for you to find<br />
the information you need, no matter<br />
which stage of the process you are in.<br />
Throughout the book, you will see tips<br />
from one of our <strong>ACL</strong> patients, Sarah<br />
Fittro. We hope you will find inspiration<br />
and helpful guidance from someone<br />
who has been through this surgery<br />
and recovery. Please bring this guidebook<br />
with you to your appointments<br />
and to the hospital on the day of your<br />
surgery to use as a reference tool and to<br />
make additional notes.<br />
