Xiros USAListen to ex-professional handballer Mateusz Matlach's journey from ACL rupture to playing in 4 months using the JewelACL™
Mateausz ruptured his ACL during a training game, where 'he felt his bones separate'. He understood the severity this injury could have on the future of his playing career, and looked for a solution. Dr Klaudius Kosowski (Orthopaedic Surgeon, Poland) recommended the JewelACL™ device, highlighting its use in young, active patients who are keen to get back to sport quickly.
After having a JewelACL implanted without any autograft taken, Mateusz was back training in 3 months and playing games in 4 months.
The JewelACL device has resulted in no re-rupture, allowing him to play on for 8-years, until the end of his playing career. He also experienced an ACL tear in the opposite knee, where he felt confident enough in the first surgery using JewelACL that he opted to use the device, standalone for the second knee.
