From the Introduction
ACL surgery tends to arrive at the worst possible moment — mid-season, mid-training, mid-life — and the road back is longer than most people anticipate. The nine months or more of structured rehabilitation, and the psychological work of trusting the knee again, is territory that athletes and non-athletes alike have had to navigate largely on their own.

This book is a collection of personal, first-person testimonials offered as companion reading. It is not medical advice. Always consult a qualified healthcare provider regarding any medical condition or decision.

About this volume

Inside this volume

Fifty first-person accounts cover the injury and diagnosis, the surgical decision, the procedure, and the drawn-out rehabilitation process with its milestones and setbacks. Writers address both the physical demands of ACL reconstruction recovery and the mental challenge of returning to activity — some making it back to full sport, others adjusting to a different kind of active life.

Who it's for

For anyone recently diagnosed with an ACL tear, those in the middle of rehabilitation, and coaches, partners, and families who want to understand the full arc of recovery.
