Gulfshore Business recently spotlighted Arthrex for its continued support of the Children’s Advocacy Center (CAC) of Collier County through the Adopt-A-Family holiday program.

This holiday season, Arthrex employees in Southwest Florida adopted 70 families, donating gifts for children based on personalized wish lists coordinated by the CAC. The effort benefited more than 175 children and marked the 10th consecutive year Arthrex has participated in the program.

CAC officials noted that these donations offer meaningful relief for families navigating difficult circumstances and help advance the organization’s mission to support and serve local children.

Level 10 gymnast and Arthrex Athlete Charlotte Holmberg shared her inspiring comeback story with ABC affiliate Denver7 after suffering a devastating ACL tear, just four months before the start of the college recruiting process.

As Denver7 Sports Anchor Nick Rothschild reported, Charlotte began gymnastics at just 18 months old and never looked back, so when the injury threatened her dream, quitting wasn’t an option.

Under the care of orthopedic surgeon Rachel M. Frank, MD (Denver, CO), Charlotte’s ACL was reconstructed using her own quadriceps tendon. To further improve knee stability and reduce the risk of retearing, Dr. Frank also performed a lateral extra-articular tenodesis (LET) and used the InternalBrace™ technique.
