What are the bang-up orthopaedic centers out there? I'm an east-coaster who just had his ACL fixed but I've got a buddy in Boise who just blew out his knee and will be looking for a fixer out Idaho way. Alas, he's not a skier. He blew it playing soccer, but I figured the snow denizens might be forthcoming with a little charitable advice.
Much love . . .

I don't know about Idaho but if you Buddy wants to make the drive to Jackson - you can't beat teton orthopedics and Dr. Rouke.
Go that way, really fast. If something gets in your way, turn.

I hit up docter Shay with intermountain ortopedic. The man is a perfect genius. A master of his art. and he takes lots of pictures and will walk you though the whole thing before and after the fact. He did an ACL Miniscus and cartledge regrowth. Come april I will be back on the snow killing it!

Dr. Paul Collins, my buddy had both knees fixed by him. He's a skier and kayaker and will take care of you. Anything upper body check out Dr. Curtin at Elk's Rehab-he was the lead surgeon for the SLC Olympic games and now resides in Boise.
