ACL Replacement Surgery by Dr. Spero Karas

[wrxtacy311]

I tore my ACL and meniscus in Iraq in October 2007 and didn't get surgery until August 2008 because the military doctors just said that "it's just a sprain". Surgery was longer than expected, supposedly due to the neglect and severe wear over the 10 months of continued work, training, marching, and running. My physical therapy was also only 3 months long. I sure wish I had Dr. Karas!!!

I tore my ACL and twisted my tibia the day before I turned "Sweet 16". And the same day I tore mine, a football player tore his. Our rooms in the hospital were right next to each other. The doctor came in and told me they couldn't help for another 2 months, but then he went to the football players room and told him they could get him into emergency surgery right away. Can someone tell me why that's fair?

Thanks! I'm just 16 yeara old and i have a tored ACL 4 months ago... The doktors say that I cant be operated on my knee until I'm at least 18 years old :( I wear a kneebrace now (an expensive one) but my knee still swallowed, the doktors said my knee will be on normal size after 6 weeks, can someone tell me how it could be swallowed for so long?
