I've had seven knee surgeries. One complete ACL reconstruction but my son David has had two complete reconstructions on the same knee. He later high jumped 7'0" on the reconstructed knee in college and now competes in triathlons. Just Thanksgiving morning he placed 5th in a big one here in Arizona.

I had the Allograft (cadaver) reconstruction which you get if you're over 40.

Not to JACK Ziggy's thread by I had a leading ortho surgeon tell me I am a lost cause for ARTHOSCOPIC surgery on my hips... Without even taking a second look at my xrays he said "double hip replacement, your too far gone for laproscopic surgery"...
I'm going to see how long I can hold this off by loosing 50 lbs... Surprise...... :( I turn 50 this month...
I had something similar to the ACL surgery done on my right bicep when the tendon broke from the radius bone... I can lift as much now as I ever could, pushups, no pain whatsoever...

That's what I'm scheduled for in 9 days.:o. How has your recovery been going?
My doc says they put me on controlled movement machine right after surgery and for a few weeks at home.
