acl injury

[rob53]

Hey, just wondering if anyone has had the same experience as I had. I tore my acl playing hockey 4 years ago. The tear was so bad that the surgeon had to remove part of it, so I am left with only a partial acl. I played hockey for 15 years and I really want to play again. What kind of bracing would be best and should it be custom???

Your surgeon would be the best resource regarding bracing as he is the one who knows the limitations of what ACL you have left. It will most likely need to be custom.
