A member asked:
Could an old acl injury be repaired?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes: Even chronic acl injuries can be reconstructed if the knee damage has not progressed too far. If your acl injury is affecting your function, you should speak to an orthopedic surgeon about your options.

Possibly.: If your knee has not developed arthritis, then there's a good chance that it could be reconstructed.
