Skiing after ACL reconstruction.

Thu, 24 Nov 2011 19:17:20 GMT

Skiing for 1st time since hubby's knee surgery last year. This was to repair a severed acl after some average downhill turns, March last year. Any tips on what he should or should not do.
He has been told to wear his support brace, but his knee is A1 otherwise.
Should he support the other knee as well, is he more prone to it happening again because it has previously?

speak to the doc..... ;) They tend to know more about the patient than internet doctors :)

Only joking, I think there is another thread on here about the very same subject :)
