Torn Knee Ligaments

I dislocated my knee in a rugby game. My ACL, PCL and MCL ligaments were completely torn through and the Meniscus Cartilage was torn all the way around. I was seriously worried if I would ever be able to walk properly again let alone keep fit. The surgeon said that it was the worst case of its type that he had ever seen, and the doctor on the scene of the injury told me that I would probably only see a significant improvement after seven months.

After an operation to attach the ligaments to my knee with metal screws, I started using the Delta as well as a disciplined physio routine. Throughout I was amazed to find that I had virtually no pain. My physio was also very impressed, and after only five months I am walking and cycling normally with very little discomfort.
