Thank you so much for taking the time to post this single comment! I have searched the entire internet for that piece of information.

I am 9 weeks out from a complete tear of my ACL and MCL at Lake Tahoe in January. I am a 48 year old female who skies one week out of the year and have been told that my knee is stable and won't require surgery. That is believable to me with an ACL tear but the combination had me worried. Thanks for sharing a real life testimony.
