I've had not one ACL tear but two (one on each knee). I had them both reconstructed successfully by a great surgeon. I'm currently 30 and continue to play the game in a very competitive league. The most important thing is to rehab, rehab, and rehab!!! This is key for a speedy and quick return. :thmbup:
My first ACL was replaced with a slice of my patella tendon, the second one was replaced with a cadaver. Someone else's achilles tendon actually. Tis why I'm nicknamed, "Dead Man Walking" on the pitch at time.
