  • ACL repair

    That is partially true. It depends upon your activity level and whether or not you have symptoms of instability. Some people can get by with a special brace, usually they limit some of their activities. Some people give up vigorous activities. I would say most young, active patients elect to have surgery because they want to stay active. It is an elective surgery. It also depends if you have other injuries associated with it, like torn meniscus or MCL. With other pathology, the knee is more likely to be unstable. DR Baier READ MORE
