I tore my ACL?

Question

When I had my knee Surgically repaired using my own patellar tendon from the same knee, it seemingly fixed the tendonitis problem in that knee... If I had had the tendon removed from the other knee, would I have had that problem fixed too? How much did your surgery cost and how are you doing now?

Answer 1

An ACL tear is more serious than just tendonitis. Tendonitis is just inflammation of a tendon. The anterior Cruciate Ligament is a major ligament in stabilizing the knee joint.
I've had a torn ACL for about 15 years and my surgeon told me that if it doesn't bother me then there's no need to fix it.
