@skibug - Other than the colour are there any other physical changes compared to 13?

@BraceMaker - Interesting looking brace that you refered to earlier. It looks as though it may be restricted for forward flex though. Whilst I need roll support I would still need to retain that forward flexability. Hence why I was looking at a hard shell type setup. I would much prefer both feet to stay on the one plate as my right (front) leg has no ACL and would share any load/forces in a fall with the rear. @Lucas - If I was ure that I could get into a stealth easily enough I think that I would go this way. The height of the boots appeal to me as they appear to provide the support that I need. All the advice is much appreciated.

plubius, Is the Fogman plate the same dimensions as the Stealth?

Thanks Lucas, getting into the binding could be a problem as foot drop means I can push my foot down but can't pull it back up I.e can't wiggle my toes!

Hi all, this is my first post so I hope it makes some sense. I had a pretty horrific right knee hyperextension many years ago playing another sport which blew everything. Torn ACL, PCL Lateral, Medial, and tore the medial meniscus, hamstring, calf and ITB from the bone. It alslo resulted in severe peroneal nerve damage which left me with foot drop. After extensive surgery I was able to get back up and running to a degree. Ten years later I got back into skiing as my kids were now old enough to learn and my wife suggested that it would be a good thing to do as a family. I didn't argue! I was getting back into the swing of things and bought myself a 2012 Prophecy. I would tighten my binding right up on my front (RFF) to give me extra support due to the foot drop (foot wants to role out 1,3,5) Just after Xmas 2012 I had an OTF off the second wake and the rear foot came out and the front stayed in. Hyperextension again, similar damage but not as bad, partial tearing of the PCL, blown ACL and some minor tears in the hamstring and calf. Saw the top knee surgeon in Oz and he advised that it was ot worth reconstructing this due to scarring from previous surgeries but said that I could still ski! I skiied again after some heavy work in the gym at the end of April with a CTi Custom knee brace that I use for MotoX (just to get back on the horse). Im going to try agian this summer (Oz) and I need a binding system that gives me support on the front foot and that keeps both feet in (cant afford the front foot to take all the load). I was keen on the Stealth as the Prophecy comes with the inserts already but I was thinking that powershells may give better support. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Also, how many ballers are skiing without an ACL and what is it like? I am thinking about seeing how I go this season and if it is no good, getting a second opinion and getting the surgury done.
