It seems like this year so many people tore their ACL or did something to their Meniscus or any other part of their knee. i know a couple people who had this happen to them, and have heard of more. i was wondering if any of you feel that there have been a lot of knee injuries this year, or if any of you injured you knee.

I just had micro fracture surgery to remove 14 pieces of broken cartilage and initiate regrowth.

yeah, stressed me out at first when I woke up and got the news after surgery.  But after talking with the doc and doing some research, it's a fairly common surgery among basketball players.  I'm just keeping with my rehab and taking Glucosamine and Chondroitin and even eating chicken bones.  Plus my cartilage was damaged toward the back of the knee which is good news.  Should be skiing next season.

Knee injuries are pretty common. I wouldn't call the past season eyar of the knee injury because it happens every year.

torn acl and mcl, other 2 kids at my school also blew their knee right before i did it does kinda seem like this was the year everyone got fucked but at my school pretty much everyone has had knee surgery so i'd say its pretty common in skiing in general.

I went through an ACL replcement about 6 years ago.  Just sucks, because at 25, I'm not young anymore.  ha
