Hi, I am a decathlete and recently tore my ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) throwing the javelin in practice. I am scheduled for surgery in two days. I was hoping for some insight as to what to expect with rehab and recovery and for others to share their experience with ACL injuries.

I am a decathlete at Arkansas State. I ave not torn my ACL but I had a Coach that is still a decathlete and he tore his ACL. He did his first decathlon about four or five months after not sure the score but he pred later so I think you should be fine. Just make sure and take your time but dont be to gentle with rehab. Hee is a link to my coaches blog so you can ask him yourself.
