A member asked:
Is it normal to find out you have torn your acl, and the dr. releases you for weeks until a surgery can be done. my employer is even making me come in?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Torn ACL: Not all ACL tears need to be repaired or do not need to be repaired immediately. Ask your doctor to write a note specifying what you can and cannot do at work. Discuss all treatment options, both surgical and nonsurgical.
