Well, tore my ACL, MCL & Meniscus. From the research I've been doing, there are a ton of trade off's from one graft choice to another. Thought I'd ask some of other mx'ers that have torn an ACL of their experience. Doesn't sound like a fun surgery by any means!
I'm 40 and active, not so much for pivoting sports but like to ride MTB and dirt bikes but not really racing but still get after it.
My main questions are:
-Have any of you had a torn ACL and not have it repaired? Any problems with stability?
-If repaired, which graft did you opt for and how was the recovery?
-Curious about the anesthesia, were you put under general anesthesia or did they do a spinal similar to an epidermal?
Thanks for any input!
