Message: [QUOTE="Fairfield Fan, post: 3260076, member: 6911"] But what's far worse is the likelihood that she will experience severe arthritis in that injured knee and require a knee replacement in her early thirties. And the problem with that is that those replaced knees only last about fifteen years before they, too, must be replaced. And current technology only permits a knee to be replaced- twice? So sometime in early old age, the pain and the wearing out artificial joint will combine with a technological dead-end. Don't recall the articles, but the long-term physical outlook for those with ACL tears is not great. [/QUOTE]
