I don't believe this statement is accurate: "External bracing is recommended for athletes in contact and collision sports for a period of time after reconstruction. It is important however to realize that this type of prevention is given by a 'surgeon to surgeon' basis; all surgeons will prescribe a brace and crutches for post surgery recovery total usage time is one month"
As my doctor told me, and as I found on the web (although I'm not going to research it right now), braces are mostly useless because the graft is far stronger than the brace itself.--69.86.74.38 (talk) 06:02, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
Merge with Anterior Cruciate Ligament and ACL Reconstruction?
This page could be combined with the article Anterior cruiate ligament and Anterior cruiate ligament reconstruction under the name "Anterior Cruciate Ligament."
- I oppose the merger between the anatomical term and the name of the condition, but I would support the merger between the name of the condition and the name of the surgery. --Arcadian 08:08, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
There already is an ACL reconstruction section of the ACL injury page and the ACL reconstruction article should just replace that section.
Possible expansion to this article
Hello. I have been working on expanding information on the anterior cruciate ligament article. Particularly, I have expanding a section dedicated to explaining reasons women are more susceptible to ACL injury. I see that this article also briefly touches on a few of these factors. Now, I think it may be more appropriate to add this additional information in this article, instead. If anyone would like to work with me on expanding this section or has any other suggestions or ideas, please let me know. Eng 314 (talk) 03:57, 29 February 2008 (UTC)
