Elective surgeries are necessary for healthcare because they are an important aspect of patient recovery and well-being. At a time when elective surgeries have been impacted significantly by the global pandemic, with either longer waiting periods or a cancellation altogether, the ability to schedule those potentially life-changing operations in advance has been compromised. Join us for a live look into an ACL reconstruction with BTB allograft surgery as Dr. Verma and his team use advanced surgical techniques to reconstruct a ruptured ACL

Dr. Verma is a Sports Medicine and Shoulder physician who performs over 500 procedures per year, and he specializes in treatment of the shoulder, elbow and knee with an emphasis on advanced arthroscopic reconstructive techniques. He is the Director of the Division of Sports Medicine and Director of the Sports Medicine Fellowship Program. In addition, Dr. Verma serves as a team physician for the Chicago White Sox and Chicago Bulls.
