High school senior year injury question

While everyone is different, my son had a complete tear of the acl just after his senior year of HS. The difference being he had already signed for college. He had his surgery involving the other leg to harvest hamstring to repair the acl. I understand there are a few different ways to repair the acl, including using patela tendon which is actually suppose to take less time to heal.

His surgury was in July and he was pitching in Jan. He wore a brace for a complete year post surgery while pitching or doing any physical activity.

We had a kid tear his this year, and the doc is saying 4-6 months. I have heard that is about average.

I could see where it could hurt this boy in recruitment as there are many unknowns.

Personally I would have the player notify the coaches who are recruiting him, and have him explain what the doctor tells him.

Don't know about the MRI "not fully read" part, around here the Radiologist from the MRI facility reads them within 24 hours and faxes the report to the refering Dr.

Thank you 02^04Mom. Good stuff.

Was wondering if anyone else had anything on this?

We're in the same boat, torn labrum. All's gone quite, I hope it's just because the college season has started.

Has son write several schools, one has contacted him and want to talk. They liked his passion about playing dispite the injury.
