- Greetings all,
-
- I recently blew out my ACL and went to see a well recomended Orthopedist.
- He informed me that that particular ligament can heal itself, and
- barring cartlige damage shouldn't require surgery.
-
- I just wanted to get the net.opinion on this statement. Has anyone
- else done this and successfully recovered without surgery?
-
- I'd appreciate any info that can be provided.
-
- Thanks, (in pain)
-
- Tom.
