I will call & ask on monday about a referal closer to you and see what procedure Maggie had. I just remember they put a band type thing in to act as a ligament. Her tear was very severe and although Im sure it hurt she never acted like she was in pain.
Also if I remember right hers wasnt acl it was the other knee ligament.
Its going to be OK
I would restrict her movement as much as possible so she dosent injure it worse.
