A member asked:
If i have an acl tear in my knee, can i go skiing or will it make my knee worse? thank you very much in advance

May not work: with an ACL tear and no brace you will likely have trouble skiing. Even with an ACL brace you may not do well but it's worth a try. At your young age if you want to continue to ski I would recommend surgery. Good luck.
