[QUOTE="zero_it, post: 694546, member: 18548"] I wasted my ACL and tore the medial meniscus back in '94. They did the hamstring tendon for my ACL and sewed up the meniscus. Since there is very littel blood supply to the meniscus, it takes a long time to heal. With that procedure I wasn't to full weight bearing for two months. I was able to ride a bicycle about 3 months post-op and was back on my motorcycle in 5 1/2 months wearing a brand new CTi2 knee brace. It was a long haul, but I'm really glad they didn't carve any of the meniscus out, I'll be really thankful the older I get! Shortly after getting back on the bike I opted to buy a CTi2 for my other knee because I want to cut the chance of that ever happening to me again. They are expensive knee braces, but worth it. The only problem is getting MX pants & boots that fit properly over them and then dealing with your pants tearing out at the knee where the braces rub. It's still cheaper than surgery. Good luck with the kid's recovery! Do all the prescribed physical therapy and then some. [/QUOTE]
