    I’m not an immunologist or rheumatologist, but it’s the body’s response to injury or invader. It generally involves the response of injured or infected tissue in the form of chemical signals. The signals recruit immune cells to respond to damaged cells or pathogens. Acute inflammation is generally helpful. Chronic inflammation isn’t so good. Also, a balance to catabolic and anabolic responses are important with respect to injury response.

    Yep. I had it removed 6 years ago and just had an allograft recently.

    Curious to hear how it goes for you?

    Ken,

    Thanks for the reply. The TRX is a good idea. I used to do twisting lunges for tele-skiing. I’m curious about ideas for optimizing skiing position to minimize shear forces. I’ve already had a meniscus transplant and am trying to preserve my knees, but still hit the slopes.

    Thanks

    Wes
