I tore both my ACL and my MCL (complete tears) back in 1967 before there was all of the microsurgery that they have now. Since I was never going to be a star athlete and surgery rehab back in those days could have run 2 years, I never had the reconstructive surgery. Instead, I chose to accept limits on what I could do athletically. Twenty year later I did have to have surgery because all of those loose particles and chips that are discussed in the Lehman article continued to float around in my knee and limit even basic activity. So the stuff Lehman writes about all of the other aspects of the basic joint, beyond the two ligaments themselves are very true. I sincerely hope that the Skins and Griffin are cautious going forward.
