This article in The Cut is actually a very accurate review of an ACL injury. I wish every patient who googled ACL tears came up with an article that is so well written. This author reviews why ACL tears are so common, who tends to tear their ACL, what the surgery entails, and most importantly, the recovery. I also like that this article discussed how functional some patients can be without an ACL. While this isn’t an option for many patients, it is a reasonable option for some, especially someone who has failed several reconstructions.
