Caring for patients of all ages, Dr. DeBruin sees and treats ACL tears, multi-ligament knee injuries, meniscus tears, patellofemoral instability, AC joint separations, shoulder instability, and more. Additionally, Dr. DeBruin has a special interest in treating sports-related injuries of the female athlete.
Procedures Dr. DeBruin performs include, but are not limited to, tibial tubercle and femur/tibia osteotomies, rotator cuff repairs, arthroscopic labral repairs, partial and total knee replacements, and anatomic and reverse shoulder replacements. Dr. Debruin also performs the MISHA procedure, which is a joint sparing treatment option for mild to moderate knee arthritis.
Dr. DeBruin states the best part of her job is helping people stay active – whether it is to get athletes back to playing their sport or getting someone her parents’ age back on the pickleball court. She loves being active herself and understands how important it is for both physical and mental health.
In her free time, Dr. DeBruin enjoys spending time outdoors with her husband, sailing their Hobie catamaran, kayaking, swimming, hiking, and throwing frisbees for their dog. They are also big Packers and Bucks fans, and love catching games when they can.
