New Delhi [India], September 13 (ANI/PNN): The highly charged, defining question that almost every athlete asks their doctor after suffering anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) damage is, "When can I play again, Doc?" Parents, teammates, coaches, and--in the case of the well-known athlete--the media always start by asking the same question. It implies that quick surgical intervention and expedited recuperation become priorities to match the expectations of athletes or their surroundings. Therefore, it is not strange if the benchmark by which orthopedic doctors judge themselves and are judged in sports circles is the time to return to play.
