Does anybody injured the anterior cruciate ligament? and did not have surgery? and still ride bike..
This weekend i went to a enduro race and in a corner with roots, my knee got stucked and twist it in 180° and hurt my anterior cruciate ligament. I went to a sport doctor and he told me that i have to do surgury , but also i can stay with the injury and keep riding bikes till the end of the champiship and then have surgury?
Any expirerience with this? or any one that knows about this?
(sorry for my engilsh)

If you got good insurance; suggest a physical therapist referral from your doctor or do your own RICE.
Also a MRI to see if you got cartlidge damage like MOTOCOACH says. My own biggest problem was hematoma edema and after that went away, was able to ride and run again.

If I could do it over, I would get the surgery with a cadaver transplant, 9mm.
MRI shown ACL cut, Tear of meniscus and tribial plataue fracture.
Good news,I walk and from the first time without pain of instability of knee (of course due to the damages I dont try ti run or jumb etc)
I will try to avoid surgery (maybe I do for meniscus only) on ACL by straightening Quadriceps muscle and a very good knee brace such as Cti , POD etc
If you rupture it, you can't even walk, let along stand on a bike. Sounds like you have a small tear. Your decision what to do about it, but pain and weakness only increase the chance of it happening again.
I think I have to visit an other doctor which he is more expert with sports and knee injures.
My schedule is when the fracture of plateau is ok ( doctor told me for 6 weeks that need) I schedule to make the operation for meniscus.This is a very easy and not need big period to be idle.
However the ACL operation eventhough is 1,5-2 hours and next day you are at home .. needs totaly 6 month to return to normal athletic action.
If it is necessary I have to do it in any case
I suffered a complete ACL tear about 15 years ago. (Sometimes Life gets in the way). It ended most all of my riding except for play riding. A proper brace would most certainly expand what you are able to do, but I never invested in that. It had gotten the point where I couldn’t enjoy bicycling without pain and swelling, so I finally had something done about it.
