A member asked:
I'm going in for micro fracture knee surgery. what if doctor finds my acl is torn. what will he do? will he repair it then or a different surgery time
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: This depends on what you and your surgeon discussed pre-op. Most likely he/she will repair your acl and your cartilage defect in the same surgery but you should be sure of this before your operation. Best of luck!
