Talk:Anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I just made a big update based mainly on my own knowledge from the surgery and some web sources. So, probably not everything is 100% accurate or complete, but I thought it'd be nice to get this article off to a start. Perhaps after I (re-)register I will have some pictures to post, too.-Luke--140.247.144.121 07:50, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Pictures
I have scanned some X-ray of my knee (reconstructed). You may like to add them into the article.

- I'm glad you posted them. I don't feel it would be bad for you to directly add it to the article if you give some explanation of the surgery you had. It would be even cooler if you had photos. Root4(one) 04:53, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Combination
This page should be made a part of ACL injury. There is already an ACL reconstruction section in the ACL injury page and this should replace that section.
[edit] Surgery Images
Hi,
In my site I have images from an acl reconstruction surgery. I think the images are of great value especially for someone who has to undergo such an operation. If you think so too feel free to add it in the external links section Nfostiras 15:08, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] help
i have ruptured both my ACL and PCL i have also sustained a grade 3 tear in my MCL,can any one please let me know my best options. My surgeon has left me to "heal" for well over 12 weeks and he is now talking of not doing any reconstruction at all, should i take this action or damand surgery as i am (at least was) both a compettive skiier and horse rider, and i would like to return to both sports.amybabes71 6th march 2007
- You understand a ligament rupture is not necessarily a complete tear, right? Therefore, unlike a complete tear, it has a chance to heal. But if it bothers you significantly, you might want to get a second (Medical) opinion. I'm not sure if time is a factor.
- Never "demand" surgery. TV dramas often hide the details and make many types of surgery as if they're no-brainers. Fact is, with ANY surgery theres significant risks, esp. of infection. How would you like to have a satisfactory reconstruction of the knee (should you need it) and then be overcome by septic infection that eats at the bone? I'd almost guarantee your days as a competitive skier would be over then. Root4(one) 12:46, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] future treatment
Using the previously first external link as a reference i wrote a section about it.Thus I moved it from external links to the references.I also added an external link videos from such operations.SInce english is not my mother language if you find any syntax or grammar errors please fix them.Also please make any other changes that maybe needed !
