I tore my ACL playing tennis exactly 1 month and 1 week ago. I also suffered a contusion which has forced me to delay surgery and undergo 4 - 5 weeks of PT. I am in very good shape and find the PT very slow and boring but plug away and do as I am told. The therapist tells me they do not want me to lose what muscle tone/strength I had prior to my injury while still allowing time for the contusion to heal. I am ready to get on with it! I go back to my Dr. tomorrow to discuss my progress and schedule surgery. I have decided to go with a cadaver replacement and was wondering if I could hear some experiences with that procedure.
Thanks!!
