Originally posted by schrauben Been busy gents, my son had an ACL surgery done on Tuesday, so I've been swamped with that and work. I'll read back through this day and post some of my thoughts tonight.
That sucks, hopefully everything went well. We had an ACL scare with our son this February, as both the doctor and specialist said that he tore his ACL. They fitted him for a brace so he could go on his Nicaragua trip and did and MRI when he was back. MRI ended up showing that there wasn't a tear, but did show that he hyperextended it worse than we thought. Was great news for him.

Thanks it's crazy what they can do. HIs ACL was completely torn and they used a Hamstring Tendon to completely replace it. The Dr. said it's successful 95% of the time and that he will resume the same activities that he was prior to the injury.

Same with my daughter except they used part of her patella tendon.
