Partial-torn ACL in May 1997. Arthroscopic surgery to repair torn meniscus in June 1997 - OS decided to try rehab as a way to treat ACL instead of just replacing it right away.
After PT the knee really never recovered ... had lapses where knee would shift and swell a little bit. Around 2004 I started the process of seeing OS and getting MRI and diagnosis was plenty of looseness in the joint that could be helped by ACL replacement. Over the years I had of course done more damage to meniscus and was some affects to the PCL as well.
Surgery (via hamstring autograft) planned for Jan 26, 2009 pending all pre-op tests going OK.
