Wall Street Journal recently reported on a new ACL procedure that cuts recovery time and arthritic pain, .....let's hope it works! The new technique was developed by staff at the Boston Children’s Hospital, led by Dr. Martha Murray. http://www.wsj.com/articles/a-potential-breakthrough-in-acl-surgery-1458752506 http://www.rdmag.com/articles/2016/03/childrens-hospital-develops-new-acl-surgery-technique
Very nice. Hopefully, this works for the majority of people (i.e., this procedure makes it past the test phases). Ligament damage and repair is a huge problem for athletes. Having suffered a ligament tear when I was in my early 20's I know what a setback it can be.
