Message: [QUOTE="DWreck, post: 317895, member: 30114"] Wow, thats a lot. I tore my ACL in half when I was 12 years old and tore cartiledge. I had surgery to clean things up (My knee kept locking up) but because of my age couldn't have reconstructive surgery until I was done growing. I went 8 years with no ACL and had all kinds of trouble with it. I could hardly play tennis without is buckling on me. When I was 20 I had surgery to and its the best thing I ever did. I have played basketball, softball, and rode for the last 5 years and haven't had a problem with it since that time. Yes rehab stunk and I still try to keep my feet on the pegs at all costs. So my recommendation is to have the surgery if you plan on staying active and get braces. I haven't because of costs but realize that I am dancing with the devil on this matter. [/QUOTE]
