ACL gone......?

I found out that my ACL is completley gone and I have bruising on my tibial head. My knee goes out alot and it is in alot of pain. Scheduled to see ortho surgeon. what are the choices for treatment for this. Thanks for any info

I completely tore my ACL 6 years or so ago. There is a ton of information on the web about a variety of different treatments, including using the middle third of your patellar tendon, using hamstring tendons or a cadaver tendon. You can, with a little bit of work, learn a lot and have good questions for your doctor when you meet with them.

My doctor never put me in a brace and had me riding a stationery bike within days so scar tissue didn't build up in the knee.

Rehab wasn't fun, but quite necessary. For the most part, my knee is fine now. I go skiing and play recreational sports. Good luck to you!
