hi all just to add my little bit about this sort of injury, but two years ago tomorrow (March 17th) i was playing football like a few of the people on here and was tackled, i had complete ruptures of my ACL, PCL, LCL, PLC, tears in both Menisci, one of the hamstring was lifted from its attachment and also suffered a burst knee capsule. Since i have had all ligament and structures repaired and have just started to get back into football training. I feel relatively good however my muscle mass is clearly no where near to what it previously was.

I am relatively hopeful to begin playing football again however it is not clear at how good a standard (was previously step 4 of the pyramid) and ultimately it is possible.

Hope this doesn't contravene the rules of physiobob but sign up to kneeguru forum as it has alot of informative information and good rehab diaries for all sort of knee injuries. Find my rehab blog on the PLC subforum.

I hope you all the best
