About this listen
In this episode of The 518 Thrives Healthcast, Dr. Disha Spath is joined by a leading orthopedic sports medicine specialist to break down ACL tears and meniscus tears — two of the most common knee injuries, especially during skiing and winter sports.
Learn the key ACL injury symptoms, how to tell the difference between an ACL vs meniscus tear, and what happens inside the knee during injury. The episode also covers when to seek care, whether surgery is necessary, and what to expect from the ACL surgery recovery timeline, including the typical 6–8 month recovery process.
If you live in Albany or the Capital Region and want to better understand sports knee injury treatment, prevention strategies, and how to safely return to activity after a knee injury from skiing, this episode provides practical, easy-to-understand guidance.
