That really sucks man :(

Make sure you don't slack on your PT, and you'll be back before you know it.

just keep your spirit up man.. thats all i can say, if youve never had knee surgery yet youll probably be pretty fuckin depressed at first but just keep doin your excercises and concentrate on gettin better and youll be back skiin by season.. good luck man!

Vibes man. I'm at 16 weeks now, the time flies when you are working hard to rehab. Only 8 weeks to go. Rehab your knee for 6 weeks, get surgery, and you should be back on the slopes for the second half of the season.

It's not from the din being set wrong. Bindings can't prevent everything from happening. If you twist in just the slightest wrong way and motion, your ACL is done, regardless of your bindings being set correctly or not. I did mine from impact more than twisting. I overshot a jump by alot doing a 7 and ended up bruising all the bones around the knee area and completely tearing my ACL. The only way to prevent knee injuries are to do alot of strengthening and preseason exercise.

I tore my acl in december (actually tore it two more times after that if it's even possible) and I ain't getting surgery until this fall, I hope to at least get some spring skiing next season.
