First off I wish you the best of luck with your surgery. It sounds like you are in good hands.

I was however wondering if you asked the question about ACL repair choices because you are weighing options or for teaching/learning purposes? I have some input on that subject depending on the reasoning for the question.

You gotta love the Lovejoy knee braces. Makes you feel like part machine.

Keep us updated adn best wishes.
Thanks!!!
Hmmm...yes, much swelling indeed is still present...HOWEVER>>>
The SEAL orthopod gave me the choices to see which I would pic, he told me I chose "the right one" for the active / operational kind of guy that I try and be so this is for the learning aspect moreso than my choice aspect, I can explain why once the 2 main options are made available.
Not wearing a Lovejoy, but something I am quite pleased with by "B Raceing" say it fast..."bracing" has graphite composit hinges left and right with 7mm neoprine wraps backed my velcro straps...2 top / 2 bottom.
This baby is designed for COMFORT with an oblique patch missing in the rear (poplateal space) and a full 30% overlap in the front for even compression.
Quite sweet!
I am going to ask SEALPOD for surg photos...try and post.

Sacamuelas, it isn't cheating if you include your own perspective and learn something...
