This is a question we get asked a lot. In general, using modern surgical and instrumentation techniques, we are able to get our patients back to sports fairly quickly.
Here’s a nice note that we got from Maria’s mom, sharing some good news with us. Maria and her mom gave their permission today to share these photos and the email with all of you!

My son had surgery with Dr. Hey Dec.27th, 2011 and is playing his first lacrosse game tomorrow. It is only 9 weeks after surgery and Dr. Hey has cleared him to play. It is absolutely amazing.
