ACI Surgery?

8 Jan

Well, I went in for microfracture and when i woke up I was told that the lesion was too large for this procedure. So, now, my recovery is postponed yet another month while they grow cartilage from a sample taken from my knee in a lab in Boston. This is becoming increasingly depressing. So I sit here with an incredibly swollen knee from the arthroscopic procedure, with nothing but cancelled vacation plans to look forward to. Anyone have anything positive to say about ACI?

      I think my defect was 1.5 cm – I know it was too big for micro fracture. I will post an update in a few minutes to bring my blog current- thanks for the incentive to do so.
