One of the best things about my job is getting the opportunity to connect with all these great docs and pick their brains. The topic of ACL injuries is really close to our team here as Louise Fornander just tore hers. How'd we do Louise?
at the end of the video it says there is a click on the right side of the screen for a rehab video but i cant seem to get the link. any chance someone could send in the video as ive got the surgery and all, about 3 months post and could do with it ! thanks
nice short video to the point. I would like to know more about the graft. What happens when they take a graft from hamstring or patellar tendon, would they grow back?
guggie Sure - you'll have to get the meniscus fixed too if you've torn that. MCL, if it was torn, would also need to be fixed. Ligaments don't grow back like tendons do.
I have done MRI of my Right Knee. The report says:- 1) There is low grade intrasubstance tear of ACL seen near the tibial attachment. 2)There is also low-grade partial tear of the infrapatellar tendon near its tibial attachment involving the posterior fibres associated with minimal fluid collection 3)Mild synovial effusion is seen. 4)A small 8×8 mm sized ganglion/synovial cyst is seen along the posterior margin of PCL. Do I need to undergo surgery? Or it can be treated without surgery? Can I return to running(sports) without surgery? Please Suggest the Treatment. Thanks!
+sagar negi sagar negi Well, I'm not a Dr. I made the videos though. I'd make sure you get any medical advice from him directly. But, I can tell you that people can function without ACLs. That said, ACL surgery gives you a very strong ligament and is a great option for a lot of athletes. The good news is that you can fix ACL tendons if you need to. A lot of the decision probably depends on what sports you're doing and how bad the tear is. Sorry I can't give a good answer right now for your question.
ACL surgery leads to arthritis in the long term. Before you go through with this surgery, first go see a Regenexx doctor to see if your ACL can be healed with a bone marrow concentrate injection.
+Ata Wells Totally true Ata! But, your ACL does provide a lot of stability to your knee, especially in twisting motions. It'd be pretty hard for an NFL athlete to function without an ACL, but there are a few. Do a quick search for "athletes who played without an acl"
+Ata Wells Less so riding a dirt bike. Tennis involves a lot of stopping and twisting. I'd get it fixed for tennis if I were you! You've gone to the doc right? :)
+Ata Wells Hi! I've had both ACLs torn and trust me if i were you get surgery , yes its true people live without it but when you get older your knee will be super worn out .I ride too and If you want to keep riding for long just get surgery im getting my second one soon and im going to wear braces forever .you should too!
I partially tore mine but before it was discovered it had mostly healed. The Drs weren’t interested in doing the surgery because it was basically stable. It isn’t perfect but it isn’t debilitating.
It wont grow back, but it may still be enough of the ligament left to hold your knee. You need to strenghten those muscles around the knee to help you not tear it all the way
This is great stuff! Simple to follow and still filled with good information!
the hamstring tendon opymtion sounds really good
and that's what I had done crazy to think I posted this 2 months ago
@@pfc4lufetth502 how's that coming along now?
Do a video on hamstring strains (grade 1-3) and how to fully recover and rehab from it. And the science behind it.
Is the rehab video still available? Im in need of it & i found your videos has been excellent so far.
4 weeks post op and going well- walking well now....but rehab is long. If it happens to you... DO YOUR REHAB!!!
0:39 for the still of Dr.Connor, his hand has the severed hand of the host attached 😆
When it happens. Its game over

thanx for that information🤝
has sitting in one posture like lotus for a long time negative effect on knee or spine if so i would appreciate if you make a video on the subject
nice short video to the point. I would like to know more about the graft. What happens when they take a graft from hamstring or patellar tendon, would they grow back?
guggie - Yep, they do grow back. Although, it seems that the hamstring tendon is the one that grows back a bit better.
Sportology ok, but what about MCL and meniscus damage? because normally when you tear ACL, you also damage your MCL and Meniscus.
guggie Sure - you'll have to get the meniscus fixed too if you've torn that. MCL, if it was torn, would also need to be fixed. Ligaments don't grow back like tendons do.
Do you perform single bundle hamstring ACL recon on NFL players. ??
Is it good enough ??
I have done MRI of my Right Knee.
The report says:-
1) There is low grade intrasubstance tear of ACL seen near the tibial attachment.
2)There is also low-grade partial tear of the infrapatellar tendon near its tibial attachment involving the posterior fibres associated with minimal fluid collection
3)Mild synovial effusion is seen.
4)A small 8×8 mm sized ganglion/synovial cyst is seen along the posterior margin of PCL.
Do I need to undergo surgery?
Or it can be treated without surgery?
Can I return to running(sports) without surgery?
Please Suggest the Treatment.
Thanks!
+sagar negi sagar negi - gosh. There are a lot of variables involved. What did your doctor say?
I have not met the Dr yet.Is it real bad?

Thanks Man,appreciated the reply
Single Vs double bundle hamstring graft .??
Which one is better ???
Tell me this doctor where are you from ?

Do ankle syndesmoiss
i have torn mine on a trampoline two months ago and im still in pain... One doctor told me that some people live without ACL is that true?.

I partially tore mine, will it grow back?
nancy wu how are you feeling now?
No. Its gone for good

What about quadriceps graft?
I am 13 and I was born without an ACL.....I guess that is an injury haha but I had a surgery like 3-4 months ago
does your knee feel more stable now
In other words take care of your knees
