ACL gone...?
I found out that my ACL is completley gone and I have bruising on my tibial cranium. My knee go out alot and it is in alot of twinge. Scheduled to see ortho surgeon. what are the choices for treatment for this. Thanks for any info
Answer: I completely tore my ACL 6 years or so ago. There is a ton of information on the web around a variety of different treatments, including using the middle third of your patellar muscle, using hamstring tendons or a cadaver tendon. You can, next to a little bit of work, swot a lot and own good question for your doctor when you meet beside them.
My doctor never put me in a brace and have me riding a stationery bike within days so blemish tissue didn't build up in the knees.
Rehab wasn't fun, but quite important. For the most part, my knees is fine now. I walk skiing and play recreational sports. Good luck to you!
