Description

What does it take to bounce back from an ACL tear or a meniscus injury? In this episode, we're joined by fellowship-trained orthopedic surgeon and team sports medicine physician, Dr. Zachary McVicker, who specializes in minimally invasive, arthroscopic surgery of the hip, knee, shoulder, and elbow.

As the physician for Oxbridge Academy's athletic teams, Dr. McVicker brings firsthand insight into treating high-performing athletes and active individuals. He breaks down what really happens when the ACL or meniscus is injured, how surgical repair has evolved, and what patients can expect from recovery and rehab.

Whether you're on the sidelines, in the OR, or navigating your own knee injury, this conversation covers the science, the strategy, and the return to movement.
