I've snapped my right ACL twice, in May I get a kadavar's ACL put in to replace my broken one.

First time I was off my leg for a few months, August to January, then I was cleared to ski.

Second time was a little longer but not much.

Good luck with it!

I had my ACL rebuilt this January. Recovery is a bitch and the only way to speed it up is to do the physio. But really good hospital drugs. Get morphine.

My friend tore his ACL in indoor lacrosse 1 and a half years ago in april, in august the day he was cleared, he got in a bad car accident on the way hope from the doctor. He broke his femur in 2 places, his nose and he also literaly broke the steering whell with his face when his seatbelt broke. he is fine now with lots of metal in his leg and starting his first full season in 2 years on skis this year.

your acl keeps your knee from sliding forward. then the pcl i think is what its called keeps it from sliding backwards.

You can hurt your ACL by making your knee move to far forwerd out of the joint (ha ha ha joint) or to the sides. it doesn't really matter what kinda bindings you have your ACL can be hurt anywhere. i hurt mine jumping 3 feet off the stage at school,i wasnt ready for the impact and my knee just shot out side ways and hit the ground. hurt like hell. i'm lined up for surgery in about 4 months. it's going to be hard to stop doing shit like skiing and skatboarding but next season will kick ass. i hope all your ACL's, MCL's and what ever you hurt getts better and thank you for the info.

There is no PCL, just a Patella Tendon, it holds your kneecap in position. Attaches above and below the actual joint, which is why you can move the cap side to side.

You have an ACL, MCL, and LCL

i thought it was called pcl. but there is a tendon that crosses over the acl that keeps your knee from sliding backwards. i know that for sure. i will go find out what it is called. i thought the doc said pcl but i will figure it out. im 100 % sure its there.

i swear there's a posterior cruciate ligament. it's the opposite of the ACL. then you have the MCL on the sides? not totally sure, just know that i'm skiing with a busted ACL and a knee brace for the 2nd season.

good luck with the recovery....

im in sports med in school and the teacher dude told me that the stronger youre quads and hamstrings are the less chance you have of fucking up your knee ligaments he said that training your leg muscles can avoid most knee injurys

Exactly, thats why fat guys don't hurt their knees as easily.

i knew there was posterior cruciate ligament. i was talking about it with my doctor. he said like 95 % of people can tear that and have no problem. even some people can go with no acl's. its all about knee muscles and how your cartilidge and knee is shaped.
