On top of dedicating every winter weekend to snow skiing, I play fairly competitive indoor soccer all winter long as well. In Feb, during a late night game, I went to settle a routine pass out of the air and unfortunately landed the wrong way on my left leg. When I landed, my leg was already fully extended and all my weight ended up at the heal of my foot. With all my weight on my left leg and with my cleat fully engaged in the artificial turf, my knee severely hyperextended. The horror of seeing my knee locked and bent backwards was only outdone buy the extremely loud pops and cracks that accompanied it. Despite the injury, there wasn't excessive swelling in my knee the next day. My doctor told me my knee was stable and I only had an MCL strain. He thought I would be ready to play soccer in about two weeks and he gave me the green light to go snow skiing that weekend if I took it easy. I proceed to go snow skiing three days over the next week and half. Following that I noticed I really couldn't walk without significant pain and a noticeable limp (skiing actually felt better than walking). So I went to a second doctor for another evaluation. By now my knee was significantly swollen. Immediate x-ray (negative) and MRI. In denial, I went skiing three more days with the family before getting the MRI results early last week. MRI conclusion: total ACL tear with multiple tears to my meniscus and stress fractures to my femur and tibia. ACL reconstructive surgery scheduled for April 17th. Full recovery - 6-9 months. Took me about a week before I could tell everyone. Very disappointed to be missing the entire summer. No footing, no skiing, no surfing, no hiking, no mountain biking, etc. Difficult for our family given all we do over the summer - especially since we're getting a new boat - /diaries/details.asp?ID=6170" rel="nofollow - a '97 Sport Nautique . My Dad has offered to pickup the boat for me and I hope to be able to drive the kids skiing behind it by mid-June. Luckily, the injury won't impact my job but will sure put a damper on summer activities. I'll be documenting my recovery here for all who are interested. Enjoy your summer for me! I'll be thinking of you all. -Keith ------------- Former: /diaries/details.asp?ID=6170" rel="nofollow - 97 Sport Nautique 1994 Ski Nautique 86 Silver Nautique 79 Mustang |

Congrats on the new boat Keith! Sorry to hear about the injury, at least you'll be able to spend time with your kids and help with their skiing. My friend had a similar injury and the rehab really makes the recovery. He said it could be pretty tough at times but it was well worth it. |

Sorry to here that Keith. Like the others have said, follow your rehab. Make sure you choose your physical therapist wisely. I've had good and bad. 10 years ago, while snow skiing, I completely tore my ACL (with most of the meniscus torn up). I had a cadaver graft in mid-April. I was able to ski/foot without issue in August with the help of a fantastic PT. She worked me hard. Took up snowboarding that winter. Hopefully your doctor is giving you worse case scenario.

Sorry to hear that Keith. A buddy of mine here at work just had his replaced last week. It has placed him out of work for at least six weeks, but he is starting to get around some. Hope your recovery goes well!! Also thanks for putting this site together, I have thoroughly enjoyed it.

Keith, as one who has had multiple knee surgeies (4 left 3 right) and now a canidate for both to be replaced I suggest you talk to your ortho about a knee brace. Innovaton Sports makes one (CTi2)custom fit to your leg, I used one skiing for years. The even make a rod that goes to a ski boot. At the time I received mine it waa covered by insurance. It allowed flexability, although it is cumbersome but prevents the twist and hyperextension. ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=4487" rel="nofollow - 1998 Ski Nautique |

Thanks for all the kinds words everyone. Pre-operation physical therapy started last night. Goal being to get the knee healthy and build muscle strength as much as possible before I go into surgery. Should help speed up recovery on the other end. I am very dedicated to getting back as soon as possible. -Keith ------------- Former: /diaries/details.asp?ID=6170" rel="nofollow - 97 Sport Nautique 1994 Ski Nautique 86 Silver Nautique 79 Mustang |

I went to one surgeon who recommend cadaver but meeting with a new surgeon tomorrow (of which I already have a surgery date) who is the team doctor for Red Sox, Bruins and Patriots. His method is to use your own patella. From what I understand, using your own grafts is the best (strongest) method for returning 100% to highly active sports. ------------- Former: /diaries/details.asp?ID=6170" rel="nofollow - 97 Sport Nautique 1994 Ski Nautique 86 Silver Nautique 79 Mustang |

Keith I had mine done by the surgery who also does most of our football players in NSW (Rugby League). They recommended the Hamstring tendon method but I have heard that they have lately in some instances gone back to the Patella Tendon. There has been a couple of the synthetic grafts done to Football players in Australia to get them back on the field in 6-8 weeks. Has mainly been performed on players at the end of their careers that have had previous knee reconstructions. They were running out of places to take grafts from. Mine is still going great I had the inner meniscus removed from the same knee back when I was still playing football in my mid to late twenties. The surgeon who did my reconstruction said I had very good bones as there was no damage to the joint at all. It seems all PT's have a sadistic streak. At least they also seem to have a good sense of humor.  Steve must be handy having your PT on call 24/7. ------------- If you're going through hell, keep going http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=2999" rel="nofollow - 89 Ski <a href="http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=5685" ta |

I hope I am not hijacking this thread but I finally registered on this site just so i can share how much I feel your pain. So i bought a 95 nautique a the end of last year and was able to take it out twice before putting it away for the winter. Being this is my first boat, summer of 2012 could not come soon enough. Well on January 1st of this year I was a able to successfully fracture the C7 vertebrae in my neck. I am most likely gonna fully recover (with the help of this wonderfully comfortable neck brace i've had on for the last almost 3 months) and believe me I know how lucky I am to even be walking right now. With all that said, I completely feel for you on missing out on a whole summer of skiing. I am still looking forward to getting the boat out this summer but wont be getting pulled behind it till probably 2013. Its the driver seat for me. Dave |

Dave, Glad you are doing well. Fracturing any vertebrae is sure a scary thing. Puts my knee surgery into perspective. Had a good visit with the Dr. today. My pre-op PT is working well and I am cleared for surgery. So my date was moved up one week. The Dr. did confirm that my knee is a mess and I learned the meniscus repair will be a bigger deal than I though. Anyway, Dr. thought that, if all goes as planned, I should be able drive the boat by end of June, which is great news. -Keith ------------- Former: /diaries/details.asp?ID=6170" rel="nofollow - 97 Sport Nautique 1994 Ski Nautique 86 Silver Nautique 79 Mustang |

Keith, As bad as breaking my neck is, I did not need surgery (so far) to fix it and things seem to be healing fine on their own. I've just had to sit at home and do nothing for 3 months(so not fun). I think recovering from surgery is the worst part so I really feel for you. I know 3 people that have torn their ACl's and all have recovered pretty well considering the injury. Heck our DOG has even torn BOTH of her ACL's and you would never know it. True story. I wish you luck in your recovery.

Keith, sorry to hear. I had a similar situation, tore up my knee 11 years ago playing hoop, 1st doctor said just MCL, but my regular doctor diagnosed the torn ACL in 45 seconds. I also had meniscus damage because I went back in and played after the initial ACL tear, the knee pretty much came apart after I jumped and landed. Worst pain of my life. I had the cadaver graft. My opinion - the skill of the doctor will dictate success more than which graft you use, you need a guy that does hundreds and hundreds of these, sounds like you've got him. The meniscus delays the timeline for getting into heavy PT and weight bearing depending on whether he stitches it down or trims it. I had a great PT, worked very hard, was playing volleyball (limited role) against doctor's wishes 7 months later, but it took a solid year to feel decently strong. My understanding is the techniques and rehab have improved and shortened that time, so you'll be skiing next winter. Kevin is right, CTI-2 is a great brace, I liked it better than the lighter, thinner ones because it just seems bulletproof and gave me a lot of confidence. Best of luck with the surgery.

Fractured my C7 when I was 17 years old. Doing a 1-1/2 flip off a trampoline that we had put in lake. Didn't go out far enough and hit perfectly strait in 4' of water. My ankles didn't even hit the water. Luckily, I was in the best shape of my life because of weight lifting for track (shotput/discus). Compressed my C7. Other than limited rotation, I had a full recovery. Scary. Good luck with your recovery. ------------- Play hard, life's not a trial run. '85 BFN '90 BFN White Lake, Michigan |

Good news Keith. Hows the swelling? You might want to look at one of these rigs: http://www.shopaircast.com/aircast-knee-cryo-cuff.html" rel="nofollow - Cryo-cuff You can probably get one on Amazon. I don't mind sending you mine if you want, haven't used it in years and won't miss it if you return it a year from now.

You've got the drill, this stuff they make us do really speeds things up over the olden days (only maybe 20 years ago) when they just put you in a cast. My doc wouldn't let me get a brace for about 4 months, partly because I had so much swelling they couldn't fit it, partly because he knew me well enough to keep it away from me for a while. Once I was in the brace I used it for around 2 years playing hoop and volleyball, longer for downhill skiing. I loved the feeling of security it gave me and it was pretty comfortable to wear so not a problem. ------------- '63 American Skier - '98 Sport Nautique |

ACL Recovery Update: Looking back through my emails I see some strange typing under my pain med state. That brace pictured is a 6-week brace to protect my new ACL until my muscles develop enough to walk without out it. I will then get a 'sports brace' that I'll ware doing anything sports related for the next two years. No sports actives for another 4-5 months however. Completely off the pain meds as of Tuesday. Major milestones today: walking with just one crutch; successful fire my quad muscle on command (although very week) and was able to raise my extended leg off the bed for the first time (did it like three times!). Back to work today as well - working from home until sometime next week. -Keith ------------- Former: /diaries/details.asp?ID=6170" rel="nofollow - 97 Sport Nautique 1994 Ski Nautique 86 Silver Nautique 79 Mustang |
