Everyone who reads my posts must first click on my user name and read my profile.

I rehab PCL injuries and never operate on them. After rehab a guy gose back to sports an six weeks to two months, tops.

Here is a link to another thread which references a reference from the American Journal of Sports Medicine, in which the vast majority of patients did just fine without a huge operation.
