Back on track thanks to innovative ACL treatment
Antonio was having a blast at a trampoline park when a misstep left him with a torn ACL. As a track and field star at his high school, he feared his days of sprinting and jumping were behind him. But at AdventHealth for Children, his care team welcomed him with warmth and reassurance that he’d be running again in no time. Antonio’s doctor introduced him to the innovative orthopedic BEAR implant, which is inserted at the tear and helps the body heal its own ligament. AdventHealth for Children is a leading hospital in performing this implant procedure for pediatric patients, so his team knew it could get Antonio back on his feet. The BEAR implant helped him recover smoothly and successfully in less than a year! Today, he’s back on the track doing what he loves, with his sights set on joining a track team in college.
