    The Dr/specialist at the hospital seemed confident and kept say that I don't need surgery to get back to what I want.

    Hi

    Its been ages since that post

    Effectivley I rehabbed hard and got the strengh back up in my knee. I amanged to play 5 a side football for about a year - playing upto 2 games a week sometimes with no problems.

    The knee itself wasnt bad, no pain and fairly stable but not as rock solid a joint as my normal knee

    unfortunatley after about a year of playing i somehow managed to tear the rest of the ACL whilst twisting.

    I have since had the ACL reconstruction and the knee feels more solid, although I managed to tear some cartialge as well which has caused me more problems

    so my advise is push for the surgery if you want to play footy again.

    Re: Partial ACL tear - no surgery

    Let us know how you got on. Any kind of future sporting life (contact or non-contact) suggests you should have surgery...
