A member asked:
Hello doctor, 2 weeks after the acl reconstruction. slipped on the floor and split my leg wide. pain sustain for 20s will it damage my acl or tear it?

UNLKELY: first of all , the mechanism of injury you describe does not HYPER EXTEND your KNEES (rather pressure was placed on your HIPS!!!!) Secondly, these reconstructions are VERY STRONG as are the ANCHORS used to connect the recontructed ligament. These LIGAMENTS are HEALTHY and strong themselves! I Hope this all helps..good luck and BE WELL! Dr Z
