Those benefits are something Dr. Kevin R. Stone emphasized to Forbes in a conversation about Tatum’s injury and recovery. Dr. Stone is an orthopedic surgeon at The Stone Clinic and a pioneer of advanced orthopedic surgical and rehabilitation techniques to repair, regenerate, and replace damaged cartilage and ligaments. “We’ve learned over the last few years that very early motion and rehabilitation accelerate the healing,” conveyed Dr. Stone. “It doesn’t slow down the healing. It doesn’t damage the repair. And so the sooner you have the injury, the sooner you have the repair. And then the sooner you start your recovery, physical therapy, in our hands, that’s the next day after injury and surgery, the faster you recover and the better you do.”
