Recently, reporter Liz Bonis interviewed Dr. Noyes and his patient Katie Sloneker on a new treatment option to build ACL strength following surgery. Dr. Noyes’ research on the method, which involves restricting blood flow while exercising, has found that it helps patients build the strength they need to prevent re-injury or qualify for surgery in…

Dr. Frank Noyes will deliver the Keynote Address to over 1,000 Orthopaedic Surgeons at the 9thAnnual Pune Knee Course in Pune India, April 26-27, 2019.  Dr. Noyes will be providing instruction on knee surgery techniques that he has developed for many knee disorders including ligament injuries, cartridge injuries and osteotomies. From the Pune Knee Course…

Dr. Noyes is one of few doctors studying the benefits of blood flow restriction training as a key role in rehab after a knee injury.  Featured on Local 12 News, he explains how blood flow restriction training is helping to get athletes back on the field stronger and with decreased injury risk.

Blood Flow-Restriction Training for Lower Extremity Muscle Weakness due to Knee Pathology: A Systematic Review Sports Health, 2018 Sue Barber-Westin, BS and Frank R. Noyes, MD In patients with chronic arthritis or recovering from major operations such as Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction (ACLR), lower extremity muscle weakness is common and often difficult to overcome.  Resistance…

Frank R Noyes MD has been invited to give the KEYNOTE ADDRESS at the international  2019 PUNE KNEE COURSE in India which is attended by more than 1000 orthopedic  surgeons from India, Asia and the Middle East.  Dr Noyes will present lectures on the treatment of knee disorders and specialized surgical procedures that he and…

Dr. Palmer will present research titled “Abnormal Lachman and Pivot-Shift Translations After ACL Reconstruction Affected by Graft Conditioning Protocols: A Robotic Study of Three ACL Graft Constructs” at the 60thAnnual Meeting of the Society of Military Orthopaedic Surgeons in Keystone, CO on December 12th. This exciting research is the first to our knowledge that recommends…

Our newest robotic study, titled “Two Different Knee Rotational Instabilities Occur With Anterior Cruciate Ligament and Anterolateral Ligament Injuries: A Robotic Study on Anterior Cruciate Ligament and Extra-articular Reconstructions in Restoring Rotational Stability,” determined the effect of two different extra-articular reconstructions on controlling knee motions after ACL reconstruction. The anterolateral ligament and iliotibial band have…
