A member asked:
Nephew just tore his acl last week, with small meniscus tears, playing football and was cleared to play this week with a brace. is this possible?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Acl tears: Yes , however there are risks involved like sustaining more damage to the knee. It is well established that the brace will not prevent further injury
