Daaaaaaaaaamn, I have had TWO ACL surgeries (as well as on my MCL, and meniscus) and my knee never looked like that... did you have orthoscopic surgery done... or what???

man, I just had a similar surgery...and my scar isnt nearly as big, thank god. Therapy is taking too damn long, though. I need to invest in some ankle weights. *le sigh*

To be honest, that looks like the scar of a total knee replacement rather than an ACL repair.
Why didn't they elect to do it arthroscopically?

does it cost much more than regular orthopidic? because I didn't have any money to pay for it the two football insurance companies bailed out and started saying I only get 2k from both of them together. the dr. that did it cut his price down a lot and did it for almost nothing, but someone else ended up paying him for me. and i had to get other people to help pay for the actual hospital bill which i heard was around 30k
