Apr 27-29

The majority of the weekend I spent searching anterior cruciate ligament repairs & learning what an ACL repair is, and the 1st article I found was how a 12 year old boy suffered a complete traumatic rupture of his ACL, which intrinsically healed. 

 

You can find the article

“Intrinsic Healing of the Anterior Cruciate Ligament in an Adolescent”

in The American Journal of Orthopedics, August 2015
