Will Abbey D'Agostino make it back to elite racing? Any updates on her status?

I live in Boston near where Abbey and the other New balance girls live and see them running from time to time. Late winter/ early spring she was doing workouts and seemed to have recovered from the ACL. Mark coogan's Instagram account posted several times about it...Seems to be some other issue that's taken her out yet again. I believe in an interview she said she was planning on racing. Don't think we will ever know what her issues are as she is always very cagey when asked what her injury is, saying things like she's a little "dinged up" even when pressed by media. I don't know why she won't just say what is wrong, makes her seem more suspicious. She has a right to privacy but people would be much less interested if she just said it.

Maybe Sanya knows more than people believe.

I don't think so.

A while ago she did an interview and mentioned she no longer runs high mileage as she has low bone density.

God wanted her to get injured. He could have stopped it if she'd prayed a bit more.

Pregnant

I hope so, I miss that ass.

She recently received an honorary degree from Dartmouth

Also, according to her Instagram, she recently got engaged.

The difference is that Abbey's was torn. That requires about 8 months to recover from physically to the point in which it is stable. Then there's further recovery in terms of ensuring the muscles are balanced. Unusual injury for a distance runner.

People like you deserve to be thrown off a bridge.

This is true.

To add... With good PT, light running begins at months 3 to 4, training can start month 6, full recovery by months 8 to 9.

I am sure she had the best of surgeon and PT surrounding her.

Thank God. I have two ACL's and was fearing I had two years to recover.

She is so update.

Do we know for sure which graft she picked for the reconstruction? If her doc used her hamstring tendon(s), she's screwed.

MD here. No orthopedic surgeon in their right mind would do that for her.

Great. I'll let the team orthopedic surgeons of multiple professional sports teams and a couple of unversities around town know what the "MD" thinks. I'm sure they will be impressed.

Bunch o' wrong-minded surgeons in Texas I guess:http://www.houstonmethodist.org/orthopedics/where-does-it-hurt/knee/hamstring-reconstruction-acl/

Thanks for the info! I'm comforted by knowing my surgeon wasn't the only crazy one, but there's no doubt I've got permanent noticeable weakness now 7 years post-surgery. On a positive note, I do feel strength returning now that I've learned some focused strengthening exercises for the semi-tendinosis and gracilis, and I feel like I'm getting better mechanics back into my running gait as a result. None of the P.Ts or chiropractors gave me such exercises so I had to figure them out for myself. Good to see some info on A.D., but it seems we're still in the dark on how she's coming along with her return to racing.
