oh yeah, ALOT of training is gonna help alot. also standing on one of those balancepads is good, after you get proper balance, start doing exercises on it, like knee bending and such. really helped me alot.

I tore my acl when i was drunk one night, then befor my surgery date i riped the miniscus in my knee. I got that all cleared up and i guess didn't do as much rehab as i should have and now mid season i tore my acl again. all i can tell you is alot of training, ride a bike alot, work out. dont just get out acl (or what ever you hurt)back get your hole leg in general stronger.

do pre-surgury physical therapy, it will make the biggest difference in the world

I didn't broke my acl and i don't need surgery, but my knee is painfull when i ski
I did it only 3months and a half ago and i'm wondering if that's just a matter of time or if it'll be always painfull.

What can i do to reinforce it ?

Did mine a couple seasons ago blowing up on a straightline.

Find a good surgeon (not too hard here in SLC, they do a ton of knees around here, but it could be trickier other places). Get your range of motion back before surgery.

My surgeon had my leg in a machine afterwards that kept it moving - that helps a lot. I was off crutches in 10 days. Backpacking 4 months later, skiing 5 months later. Stationary bike is good for it, be sure to see a physical therapist regularly, and do what they tell you to do.

as far as the graft go, mine was hamstring and I'm happy with it, patella is longer recovery time as well as older style, but some surgeons still prefer it. Oh, and don't try to do anythings stupid beforehand, like ski you're asking for meniscus damage. Also no harm in a waiting a month or two before surgery, giving your knee time to heal after the injury helps the surgery recovery go faster.
Hope all that helps, good luck

Oh, and braces are optional, I don't have one. As my surgeon said in typical arrogant doctor style - 'MRIs and braces are for insecure surgeons.'

UTskier, who was your surgeon. I work in the OR at LDS Hospital so I might have assisted in your surgery.

Concept - your knee is probably blown, you want to see a doctor before anymore time passes. When it gives out on you, you may be damaging your meniscus, which is unrepairable!

When older people blow out their knees, they don't do surgery sometimes, because you can still get around fine w/ no ACL. But for young people like us, who want to play sports and whatnot, surgery is the only option, you'll wear down the meniscus in your knee joint otherwise, and then you'll really be screwed.

see a doctor to get an MRI and get into physiotherapy as soon as you can. the physio will help get swelling down and make the surgury go better. afterwards, just more physio until you can start working out, ride a bike tons until you can start doing weights and squatting and stuff, use balance boards and do lots of unilateral (on legged) stuff to get your propreoception back. get your leg stronger than it ever was before and you'll be back skiing fine.

u dont need to get an MRI. and your meniscus isn't unrepairable if you tear it... your recovery all depends on how well you rehab it.

blew mine out last spring. Over shot a jump--which by the way is the 2nd most common way to blow your acl skiing. I had messed it up previously but hadnt had surgery but couldnt really ski hard. as much as surgery's a bitch--get it done. If you dont you'll never have the stability to ski hard. I am now almost back to 100%. Lots of pt. Biking is great for that
skiing is dope

I blew mine out, but remember man, the stronger it is before surgery, the stronger it will be after surgery. Do a lot of PT before your surgery. I played my senior year of basketball with a torn ACL, no lie. So yes, you can walk on it before your surgery.
Dont delay it bro, get to the gym and do PT ASAP.

They can clean up meniscus damage, and stitch it back together I think? Maybe I should say it's not replacable. Once it's shredded, it's gone, and then you get to experience all the fun of arthritis way sooner than you should have to.

You want to get your knee and leg feeling good and strong before you go under then knife. If the swelling's down, go for it on the bike. No resistance and slow to start with. you're just getting it ready surgery, not training for the tour de france. You should see a physical therapist now. He can tell you where you're at and give you advice. Your orthopaedic surgeon should be able to refer you to one.
