I don't think that the the bones of that the ACL hold together will be necessarily weakened. As the pdf from UW Med indicated, if there was such theoretical weakening of the bones from previous operations, there are different types of grafts to cover for that. There are a multitude of ACL procedures depending on what's best for the patient. I don't have Holden's medical history in front of me, so I don't know which previous procedure he underwent. There are players who have come back from multiple ACL tears and have had impactful careers. RG3 is coming back from his second ACL tear and he may have a great year. But Holden is almost 28. Coming back at age 29 as a footballer is pretty much game over. But I hope the best.
LCY had a particularly good partnership with Holden and he was one of the main reasons I was holding out on a possible promotion run for Bolton, but now it just seems all the less likely.
hope he starts strong this yr & consistent. http://www.lionofviennasuite.com/2013/7/30/4571848/what-to-expect-of-chung-yong-lee It became clear however, quite quickly that Lee was missing an edge, I felt he did not look anywhere as agile as he did pre-injury and lacked decisiveness in key two-on-one positions, understandable given the lengthy time out of first-team action. There were moments of magic however provided by the South Korean, though these seemed relatively few and far between. Chung-Yong Lee is at his strongest when he is able to isolate the full back from his covering centre-half and then manipulate the space behind him. I do feel these situations were becoming more and more common as the season continued, particularly at home. Chungy does seem to enjoy playing with Mark Davies, Davies often drags the centre back out of position with slanted ball-carrying runs starting from deep in midfield, this creates more opportunities for Lee to attack the isolated full-back.

Wow I feel so bad for Stuart Holden. Remember when he and Muamba were the PL's 1-2 top tacklers? Now both of them....
Yeah feel so bad for Stuey Holden, he's a nice guy and just can't catch a break....Bolton really needed him and LCY to guide them back to promotion...when they play together, Bolton's chances of winning increase dramatically...
