Re: Torn acl success stories?
I have a friend that had the patellar graft and his "didn't take" and he couldn't walk right for 6 months. He lost his insurance or something and like over a year later he still has pain every time he bends down.
I'm sure like everything else, it's just a case by case basis.

Re: Torn acl success stories?
I had a complete tear in my ACL and lateral tears in both meniscus. I just had my ACL replaced with a cadaver ACL last month. I was walking without crutches 2 days after and without a limp about a week after. I am already starting to ride a bicycle for about 20 min. at a time. Also, my doctor just cleared me to start hitting the gym (mildly) for strengthening.
It's all what you put into it man. Listen to EVERY word your physical therapist gives you and that will take you a long way. After they are done with you, the strength of your knee will determine how active you can be again. So build that **** back up!
