August 2008 I had my acl replaced and some meniscus work done. Everything healed great and after all my PT I returned to riding in April 09. My knee never really did feel exactly perfect but it was good enuff. I wore a brace on my repaired knee.
This September I crushed my knee again landing in the flats off a DU. Thought I tore my ACL again but the MRI showed it was only a small tear and since they used a graft they put a larger than normal acl in so it should be fine WOOT!
What I did though was tear the guide plate on my knee bone and my meniscus again and did some deep bone bruising. To be honest this hurt way more than tearing my ACL and it was swollen forever after, I rode a couple of times but the pain of landing was killer so I finished out the season surfing.
Now what I need done is they have to go in and drill some holes in my bone to stimulate bleeding and this blod flow will cause my meniscus and guide plates to heal and remove some pieces that are floating around and causeing my knee to lock up. The Dr. said I wouldn't be able to put full weight on it for about 6 weeks and about 3 months to full recovery.
Anyone had this done before? How did it go? How long where you out? Any advice?
