Complex problems require comprehensive solutions.

At SPARC – Sports and Arthritis Center, we are committed to providing advanced, fellowship-trained care for even the most challenging musculoskeletal conditions.

This case involved a Revision ACL Reconstruction, Ramp Repair, and Lateral Extra-Articular Tenodesis (LET)—a highly complex procedure performed to restore knee stability after a failed previous ACL surgery. Patients travel from different parts of the country seeking specialized care, and we are honored by the trust they place in our team.

SPARC brings together experts in Sports Medicine, Arthroscopic Surgery, Joint Reconstruction, Spine Surgery, Rehabilitation Medicine, Wellness, and Nutrition to provide comprehensive, patient-centered treatment under one roof.

Whether you’re an athlete recovering from injury, struggling with arthritis, or seeking relief from spine and joint conditions, our goal remains the same:

To help you move better, recover stronger, and return to the life you love.

PREPARE. PERFORM. RECOVER. RETURN. 💪🦵

In sports medicine, great outcomes don’t happen in the operating room alone.

They begin with understanding how an athlete moves, identifying weaknesses and movement deficits, and preparing the body to perform at its best.

And when surgery is needed, rehabilitation remains an essential part of the journey — from preparing for surgery, to restoring strength and mobility, and ultimately returning the athlete to sport.

At SPARC, Sports Surgery and Rehabilitation work together as one continuum of care.

Because the goal is not simply to treat an injury.

The goal is to help you move better, perform stronger, and stay healthy.

Assess. Correct. Prepare. Perform. Recover. Return.
