[net.med] info on knee problems and sports

bev@hlexa.UUCP (Beverly Dyer) (04/05/84)

I've had major knee (ligament) surgical repair, and am interested
in locating an orthopedic doctor in the NY/NJ area who is also something of
an expert on sports injuries.  

I know enough to know that swimming and bicycling are good and that
I'll never be a runner, but I'm a skier, and I'd like to discuss
various weight training possibilities, and the use of braces/supports
with an expert.

My surgeon doesn't live around here, and basically says dont use support,
do any weightlifting you can.

If anyone either has similar experiences or knows
a great orthopedic, please reply.
