torn ACL?

1-when was the injury? January 12. what was your age then?19 and are you male or female? male. did you fall skiing? yes. landing or just a weird fall? landing.
2-if you had surgery, how long after the injury? 2 months 5 days
3-what did they use for your new ACL? patellar(hamstring, patellar tendon, or cadaver graft)
4-how until you skied again? havent yet
5-do you have any trouble with your knee now? still recovering

i tore mine 2 years ago and actually just wrote a huge final paper on it for a class last quarter on the effects of physical therapy for treatment versus surgery for an ACL tear...

1-when was the injury?- March 2, 2002 what was your age then?- 18 and are you male or female?-female. did you fall skiing? yes in a half pipe comp. landing or just a weird fall? landing.
2- i had surgery 3 1/2 weeks after surgery
3- i had a patellar tendon graft and my meniscus stapled.
4- it was 3 months until i skied half a run on it, but i didnt feel ok until 7 months later when i got my brace that i felt 100% ok to ski on it. i only used my brace for one season, and now i dont need it when i ski or run.
5- yes, i can ski on it, run, etc, but at work is when it gets the sorest.. theres a lot of fluid and i will probably have to get it drained.

also for your paper you might want to know if it was a complete tear or a partial, cause that makes a big difference as to the surgery & treatment. mine was a complete.

When your not sure about something, just HUCK IT!

1. I did it April 10th. I'm 20. Female. I overshot a landing--landed on the flats beyond the jump. I like put my tails down first and that cause the ski to snap down--classic boot induced acl.
2. I am having surgery May 20. So a month and 10 days after.
3.They are most likely going to use a hamstring graft--cause I've had problems with my patella (knee cap)popping out.
4. The Dr said I'll be good for next season.
5.n/a
Word
yo everybody--land on the landing--overshooting sucks. yeah thats about it. oh yeah--and dont bomb jumps on your first run--even if you've hit the jump a million times. it aint worth it. I was lucky I did mine at the end of the season.

skiing is dope

1-Winter of '01, I was 23, male and I caused my ACL tear because my ski didn't come off in a sort of twisting fall.
2-I had surgery maybe 3-4 months after the injury.
3-The used a grafted tendon, the one from your knee cap to your shin.
4-I skied the next winter ('02), so I was back on my skis a little less than a year after it tore.
5-I really don't have a lot of trouble with my knee now. It gets stiff when the weather changes drastically, (makes me feel like some old timer because 'I can feel a storm coming in my bones...') If I am sitting in one position for a while it gets stiff too, I just need to keep it moving.

Hope this helps out

i like fucked up my acl... or it might have been my mcl cuz my dads a doctor n he said i was really lucky that i didnt tear the shit
