About Texas Hill Country Orthop

Dr Beicker was honored to present research concerning treatment of Anterior Cruciate Ligament injuries to the members of the Southern Orthopaedic Association. The Anterior Cruciate Ligament (Or ACL) is a ligament in the knee that is crucial for sporting activity that requires running, turning and pivoting. Patients who tear their ACL can experience instability with activity which leads to the inability to participate in sports. Anterior Cruciate Ligament reconstruction can help return the athlete to previous function and help him/her get back in the game. There has been a lot of buzz about the use of Platelet-Rich-Plasma (PRP) and Stem Cells for the treatment of different orthopedic issues. It is important that you know the facts about these treatments. Ask your doctor if you could benefit from PRP or Stem Cell injections.
