ACL Surgery & ACL Injury Information I put this website together when I decided to have ACL surgery on my torn ACL. I was lucky enough to find a few diaries that people kept on the web so I had some idea what to expect for my ACL reconstruction. I thought if I could help a few people by documenting my experiences dealing with the whole situation, that it would be well worth my time. The two most popular parts of this website seem to be the ACL FAQ page, where I answer several question that I seem to get asked a lot, and the ACL DIARY page. The diary is a daily dairy that I kept while going through this whole thing. It gives you an idea as to what my experience was like. ACL Surgery can be a very stressful situation. I dreaded those famous 4 words from the doctor, just like everyone else... "You tore your ACL." I can still remember him saying after checking my knee out. In reality, I already knew it, but those words were still not good to hear. I went home and got on the internet to do a quick search for "ACL Surgery" and "ACL reconstruction" so I could see what to expect. I found a few websites that told me what exactly they were going to do and that made things a little better. What really helped though was getting in touch with some people who had already gone through it and left their experiences posted on the web.  So I decided to do the same and write my own website.
