Opps.... May i know why u say so ?
I read his profile like very professional in treating sport injuries

So how was your knee now?
I read some comments that after the surgery, the knee become more sensitive, like may be kneeling down, will feel not so comfortable.

By taking the surgery, the road of recovery is not easy, my physioterapist tell me that it take 12-18mth to fully recover. My colleague take the surgery in mid of Jan, he tell me that initial few weeks will feel sucks, need people help and take care. The best part is, u get better chance to return to the activities you like (if your sport is high intense)

My first mri show I suffering acl tear and meniscus at first , first doctor advise me go for surgery
Then go for second doctor, advise me give a try on physioterapy (as even its the end opt for surgery, can speed up the recovery, because the muscle will be very weak after surgery, need to build up the muscle and return the motion as nearly to prior surgery)
Then 3 mths later... i go for second mri
Mri show acl tear, meniscus tear , patella chondromalacia , and some wear and tear of the cartilage

So concluded after my 10mths physioterapy :
- my range of motion return nearly as before injuries
- Now actively hit the gym (need maintain the muscle mass)
- Can dance, can jump and yoga ...

Negative:
- when knee tired, can feel the knee joint move -.-lll
- knee sometime will pain (the pain is running around the knee area, sometime front, sometime side, sometime back of knee)

Well myself I visited Dr. Chan before but I don't really recommend him.

Are you meant steam cell therapy ? I see Dr. Tay Yong Guan from Gleneagle got perform such treatment, he take part in steam cell research with the Dr Saw (founder of KLSMC).

seems that there's another type of treatment.

instead of normal scope and replace the ACL, since there are no blood cell around the ACL, it can never be recover unlike muscle tear.

new procedure will blanket the torn ACL with blood cell that will later heal it naturally. dont know if the procedure already here or not,

Which doctor you go ?
You are right, it vry easy to get injured ! Need to have vry strong muscle only can really replace the ligament function. I have been re injured few times, and thats the reason also it hurt my patella (knee cap) more. I guess continuing, soon will need partial knee replacement >.<
Are you get back to your sports?

My knee is pretty much recovered, I underwent my surgery with another doctor. I guess if you don't go for  surgery, you will need to avoid exercises which involves cutting like football/basketball..A sudden change of motion/direction would result in twisting your knee which is bad.. that's what people who had acl injuries  told me

Yeah, I'm able to get back to my sports. How old are you and how did you injured your acl?

I had my surgery under Dr. Ezlan from Pantai Ampang. Had good experience under him.
