Do I need a knee brace after acl surgery 3 years ago?
Three years ago, I injured myself skiing, tearing my ACL. I had surgery that year, attended physical therapy and was generally restored to my normal stagnant self. I have not skiied since.
I’ve never been in great shape, but have somehow through skill of using my ski edges, and shifting my weight, I’ve been a pretty good skier. (Have skiied for 40 years). Now, I’d like to return to skiing. I’ve taken longer hiatus’s before (10 years), but I’d like to know if I need to purchase a knee brace for skiing.
Without looking at my knees, I really can’t tell which knee had the surgery. Does anyone have an opinion or knowledge about ski knee braces 3 years after reconstructive surgery?
Thank you.
shouldn’t be necessary but ask your surgeon
