Amy tore her right Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) while skiing a great powder day, Februrary 2nd, 2008. Here is a picture taken on that fateful day...

The Surgery

She had ACL replacement surgery on March 28th, using Bone-Patellar-Bone graft from her own patellar tendon. These are the images are scanned from pictures taken by the scope during the surgery. We were supposed to get a DVD of the procedure, but forgot to remind him on the day of the surgery. Oh well...
