The subject I decided to cover was acl tears: surgery or
rehab? I looked at 3 articles specifically. In one of them the article title is
athletes risk second injury after acl reconstruction. This article summary is that
after reconstructing of the torn acl into a new one, is that 2 years later
there is a chance to tear the same knee again or to tear the opposite knee. The
second one I looked at was called a torn acl may not always mean surgery. It sums up that is your not going to play
sports then you can go to rehab and heal the tear almost all the way back to
its regular acl before it was torn. If you are playing sports there is still a
chance you don’t need to get surgery and can still play sports, you just have
to let it heal long enough. The last
article I looked at is titled surgery can be an option. It sums up that surgery
is probably the best possible idea for a torn acl, and then once you get
surgery you could be back and doing regular activities tops a year. The surgeons
will either take hamstring from your own body because its strong, or a deceased
persons acl. I think that getting surgery is the best option, so for people who
play sports, like me can jump slowly back into them the next year.
