Can i play hockey on a torn acl?

Acl: While you may be able to play hockey with a torn acl with a brace over time and depending with the number of hours of ice time as well as position you will most likely require an acl reconstruction.

Not unheard, but...: Certainly has risks. If you elect to play w/ a torn acl you need to speak w/ your physician about your strength & getting the right kind of brace to protect the joint. As for the meniscus i would need more info about the type & symptoms of tear to make a recommendation. For the best long term outcomes (w/ high activity level) i suggest surgery, better early than late. More @ drmarkgalland.Com.

Possibly: Go see an orthopedic specialist for surgical options or consider stem cell therapy options. Check out Regenexx.Com. You may need a brace to help decrease movements at the knee.
