Re: acl tear
My daughter had to rehab before her surgery, to strengthen the muscles that would go into a period of "non-use" immediately following the surgery, hence helping her recovery...but she was most definately not cleared to play during that time.

Re: acl tear
There must be a valid reason why it cannot be operated? What was the reason? Yes, get a sport ortho in your area who does acl. Make some phone calls on the closest NFL team in your area and ask who their players go to. That's sound awful the doc doesn't wanna do anything for this kid. Goodluck.

Re: acl tear
I have heard of this. Very same thing happened to me. However, I was not allowed to play for 6 months. I was in a walking cast. They wanted to drill through my growth plates and I would later have to wear a larger shoe than the other. I wished now I had just had the surgery. After six months I could play sports again.

Re: acl tear
Our Health insurance denied payment on the ACL reconstruction on the grounds that it was cosmetic we are still making payments 3 years later .
