A member asked:
I'm have my acl screws removed in june both of them. the screw and the small one in the upper part of my leg. how long will i be down from sports?

Few weeks: U are having your screws removed this june..? I presume they are painful.Usually removing painful interference screws would restrict your participation in sports for 3-6 wks. But check w/ your surgeon to be sure. If you are having your knee 'scoped' as well and any other procedures done( scar tissue removal, etc.) will increase your 'down' time. Best ofluck!
