An ACL tear can feel like a devastating setback — but it doesn't have to be. The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is one of the key stabilizers in your knee, and while tearing it is a significant injury, reconstruction surgery has come a long way. Dr. Elguizaoui has helped countless patients — from professional athletes to weekend warriors — return to the activities they love.
ACL reconstruction is performed arthroscopically as an outpatient procedure. You'll work closely with a physical therapist on a personalized recovery plan. Most patients return to sports between 6-9 months, with Dr. Elguizaoui guiding you through every milestone.
As a former team physician for the NY Jets and NY Islanders, Dr. Elguizaoui brings the same level of care to every patient — not just professional athletes.
