Surgery pics

I finally got a CD of my sugery pics: (here are some of the better ones, and the ones of which I can remember what it actually is...)

My torn ACL (ugly, huh?) - I couldn't even begin to tell you what is what in this photo.

My new ACL (Apparenlty, I received a really good, solid, thick cadaver graft, so thick in fact they had to take shave down bit of bone off my femur - you can see the reddish brown part where they shaved off where the graft goes into the bone at the top of the photo.)

Smooth bone, no fractures

Undamaged meniscus (smooth surfaces)

Damaged medial meniscus (look for fraying)


Damaged lateral (I think) menicus

Damaged medial meniscus

More damaged meniscus (not sure which one)

And still swollen after 20 days, but you can only see one scar (I have five total)
