Abstract
Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction is typically reserved for younger patients. Several recent articles have reported expanding traditional age barriers for ACL reconstruction in patients up to 62 years old. We report a case of a successful ACL reconstruction in an active 84-year-old rancher. Physiologic age is more important than chronologic age when considering ACL reconstruction.Entities:
