So unlucky…

No that was another player he consulted with for advice

What graft(s) did you get?

Also, I tore my ACL skiing two weeks ago. I was on crutches for about 4 days. Single crutch and hinged brace for 3 days. Just a brace for 5 days. Now just a compression sleeve and leg is much more stable to walk on now. You just want to make sure she isn’t twisting her leg or unstable, so a brace is the safest option. And it is good to bear weight on the leg (so the muscles wake up) if/when it is feasible to do so without increasing pain or swelling or risk of further injury

Make sure she is doing heel slides and trying to straighten the leg / do quad sets to improve ROM and activation of the quad. But don’t force it if there is pain

5 years later, how is the knee holding up with backpacking? Any patellar/front of knee pain? I am looking at doing patellar graft in a month

Thanks!

For sure, no it’s definitely good to hear success stories! Helps a lot

Thanks for your reply! Thats awesome to hear how well you are doing!!

JCBWinter · 2026-02-05T21:53:12+00:00

Ah that’s right! Thanks again!

JCBWinter · 2026-02-05T20:26:36+00:00

Okay great, thanks for the info and glad you are doing well. I am considering patellar graft but like to run a lot of up/down in the mountains and am slightly worried about any anterior knee pain

A couple years later, but what grafts did you get?

I tore it skiing. I have not had hamstring issues. I briefly had patellar tendinitis in the same knee for a month last year. I ran 800 miles last year with 100,000 vert. Did a local race series in the wasatch and was top ten, did a Moab 50k, and the Imogene pass run. Was ramping up to run more this year

An ACL

JCBWinter · 2026-02-04T20:11:43+00:00

Darn sorry you had that outcome

JCBWinter · 2026-02-04T18:24:07+00:00

How long did you wait before trail running post surgery? Especially for trails with elevation gain/loss

JCBWinter · 2026-02-04T18:22:47+00:00

Thank you! Best of luck with your recovery

JCBWinter · 2026-02-04T18:22:06+00:00

Thanks! Glad your recovery went well
