Kevin's ACL (soccer)

by Kevin
(Bethlehem, PA)

In 1980 at age 25 had ACL replacement with the patella tendon. Meniscus was partially torn and posterior ligament was partially torn. Completely healed and never used a brace and played soccer without problems. Skied as well. Now at age 55 knee is having problems and I feel the ligaments are torn again. Question is can you get a second acl surgery 30 years later rather have a total knee replacement. Thoughts
