Well, to be accurate, it wasn't the ACL that was causing him pain, it was the two stress fractures.
The ACL might cause pivoting problems in his left knee however on his swing. I wonder if the torn ACL is what led to the stress fractures. The ACL is needed to stabilize your leg when pivoting.
When I tore my
ACL I could walk straight with no problems, but when I would turn corners my knee would buckle. Some people actually opt to not get it fixed, and in the long run it will wear down their meniscus and they'll have pretty bad knee problems later in life.
