79: Brian Harder One Year Post ACL Surgery

Breaking Trail

Today, Brian Harder, a self-proclaimed non-compliant patient will walk us through ACL recovery one year post- event. We’ll talk about the choices he made - like the graft choice and what he would do if he had it to do over again.

Brian is a frequent guest, a good friend of mine. He is an orthopedic physician assistant and a ski mountaineer based in Anchorage. he is also a former Exum Mountain Guide based out of Jackson.

Brian’s ultimate goal is to get back out playing as soon as possible. For reference, he is in his late 50s and sometimes our brains are more eager than our bodies but that’s my own observation. wink wink wink. This approach may or may not have caused some of the complications he’s experiencing. We discuss that. We also cover a topic that is important to me and that is how to properly inform ourselves to make the best health care decisions for us. Not just related to ACL injury. We can all relate to that in one way or another, I’m sure.

With that, let’s listen in and gear up for what’s next.
