I was just recomending this site to a guy who just tore his ACL and realized how long it's been since I've been on here so I thought I'd give you all an update. I had my microfracture surgery six years ago and it's still holding strong and I'm still pleased with it. I've had to accept that I can't hike, jump or run any more but I'm having a great time riding my bike, swimming and tending my garden. Being that before my surgery I couldn't walk across the room with out my knee buckling and ending up on the floor I consider just being able to walk a great success. I don't think about what I can't do anymore, I focus on what I can do.
