ACL fully torn after surgery will i never be the same again in sport?

Question

I'm 15 and fully torn ACL but no other ligament. After 3 weeks i feel like i can walk now but my doctor told me to stay on crutches for another 3 weeks. What more damage can i do to a fully torn ACL?? al my other ligaments are intact. Also after surgery will i be able to perform at the same level in sport??Will i get arthiritis??

Answer 1

I know several athletes that have made full recoveries fro ACL/MCL surguries. Ask around for the best surgeon in your area for sports injuries. Following intensive rehabs, ISome players come back stronger than before. Those injuries are very often caused due to improper training and conditioning, or constant strain in sports without adaquete time to rest muscles and joints. You will learn valuable stretches and strenghtening exercises in rehab. Good Luck!
