Meniscus is the cartlidge between the bones in the knee that allow the joint to be able to move around.

Had bilateral knee surgery in march to repair torn meniscus in right knee and shredded meniscus in left knee.

Back on "the pins" again and wanting more snow!!!:d

two years ago i broke my tibea just below the knee. nothing that a few titanium bone screws won't fix! first ride of the year on someone elses sled so i stayed with the machine to try and save it. i was successful in saving his rmk 800,not so with my leg which smashed into the unpadded hi-rise bars. and i was back riding within a month. note to self...let the snowmobile go next time

Dislocated my shoulder back in 2000 riding in Yorkton, Bruised femur in 2001 at Whiteswan Lake(that was dirt bike though) Two concussions in 2008 one from a crash here in Whitecourt, then a month later in Valemount again. And then at the end of 2008 re tore my acl, mcl, meniscus in Mcbride. Thought I just twisted my knee so I rode the rest of the last day there and came back home. It was still sore a week later so I did x rays and MRI's in the following months, surgery in Nov 08 and haven't ridden since:(

All in one sledding crash!!!!:eek:
Broke pelvis in 4 spots right side
Fractured hip left side
Two broken ribs
Slight concussion
Whole body black and blue
I guess jumping a 92 indy 500 at 75 mph (180 feet) isn't very smart...
Spent 6 1/2 weeks on my back side in the hospital and the cops still gave me a bunch of tickets.:realmad: I figure they didn't think I learned my lesson.

I was riding my buddies M1000. Same thing I saved the sled off a squirrelly landing and my leg paid. I told my buddy, hey look, at least I saved your sled. He said the sled would not be laying here waiting for an ambulance. Lol
