What should I look for when choosing a sports med surgeon in North Kansas City?

Volume matters — surgeons who perform 100+ of a given procedure annually typically have better outcomes. Ask about their complication rates, implant choices, and whether they use minimally invasive techniques. All providers on AdvOrtho are verified against the national NPI registry.
Do I need surgery for an ACL tear, or can it heal on its own?
Complete ACL tears in athletes who want to return to cutting and pivoting sports almost always need surgical reconstruction. The ACL has poor blood supply and does not heal on its own reliably. Physical therapy alone can work for older or less active patients willing to avoid high-demand sports. If you're under 35 and play sports, surgery is usually the right call.
