It might not apply to players who want to get back on the park ASAP, but still a very interesting read.

Particularly for kids. They have a very long life ahead. All my friends who have had surgery really feel it later in life.

Yep, any means of getting a better result without invasive surgery is huge.

Thanks for the share it's a very interesting read. In regard to when Mitch Lewis hurt his ACL in 2023 which at the time was reported as a sprained ACL. In relation to this article where they grade the healing results into five categories I wonder if the sprain that Lewis had has made the the ligament less taut which would mean the knee mechanism is now less stable.
The 5 healing categories:
- Gold medal — full thickness and fully taut, aka you have your old ACL back
- Silver medal — full thickness but elongated
- Bronze medal — reduced thickness but taut
- Off the podium — reduced thickness and elongated
- No healing at all
Here's the article from when Lewis sprained his ACL with which I feel all the problems started:
Injury update: Lewis to miss start of 2023
Hawks forward Mitch Lewis is set to miss at least the first month of the 2023 season due to a knee injury.
