As a fellowship trained sports medicine surgeon, Dr. Pearle has a special interest in advancing the care of athletic knee injuries. Dr. Pearle is Editor-in-Chief of the journal Techniques in Knee Surgery and a member of the international ACL Study group. He routinely utilizes an anatomic double bundle ACL reconstruction technique. While technically demanding, this procedure may result in a more stable, functional knee after ACL surgery compared with traditional approaches. Dr. Pearle has published a dozen articles on ACL related topics in the past 2 years alone.

Dr. Pearle feels strongly that patient education is essential for optimal outcome.
