I would like to know because I need one but don't want to do it if insurance doesn't cover it. You see, I hurt it a couple years ago but am an adult.


TJ rehab for a "Joe" is much less intensive than that of a aspiring baseball player who has to be brought back slowly and within boundries. While we all strive for the "Andrews" treatment it can be done by numerous docs for the average guy on the street as an out-patient, and from what I understand he can be back on the golf course in 3-4 months with a lot of the rehab being self motivated.

I know it involves more than "pocket change" charges but I believe there is a big difference in total price between the complete athletic TJ program and the "Average Joe" program. Besides, where an athlete may opt for the ligament replacement the "Joe" may only require repair of the tear.
