ACL question??
TweetFrom what I remember in school, the ACL is in the knee, correct? We have a co-worker that is a hypochondiac and he is now on light duty walking around with his shoulder in a sling. He is telling everyone that the doctor said he tore or hurt his "ACL" in his shoulder. Am I missing something? Is there something in the shoulder that the doctor's would refer to as "ACL?" We always think that he fakes stuff to try and either get off work or get attention with his ultimate goal being permanent disability so he can sit on his lazy butt at home and get paid. What do you guys know about the ACL?

Re: ACL question??
TweetWell, he had surgery on his rotator cuff last year on the opposite shoulder and was out 6 months. There is ALWAYS something wrong with this guy. Not to mention that he is just lazy as hell and works harder at getting out of work than actually doing the work. It drives us crazy....but we are unionized, so he is protected.

Re: ACL question??
Tweeti agree with dzone as well...that is the only thing that makes sense to me. I injured my a-c joint during swim season my junior year of college.... ACL anterior cruciate ligament is 1 of 4 major ligament that are in your knee. most acl tears are career enders for athletes.
