I had ACL surgery one 4 wks ago, with a hamstring graft. starting walking with cructhes on day 2. Go to therapy 3 times a week. Hardest part is getting range of motion back and get quads stronger. oh and walking without a limp. good luck to all you!
Actually they are proven to be 2nd best. Hamstring autograft is the best option if a suitable tendon exists. Patellar tendon autografts produce some tracking disorders of the patella long term. I love my new acl and looking forward 100% use.
I had my ACL done; back in April of 2009 it wasn't well for me because I am outgoing and I had to be on crutches for a long time, then I couldn't put any weight on my surgery leg for about 3 months. But I also had ACL Reconstruction; because I only had one tendon and a knee left in my leg. No tendons, only one hanging on, and no cartilage left because it all disingrated. The only thing left was my knee cap and one tendon. I was in PT 3 times a week for about 7 months.
hey guys.. i had my surgery done last tuesday.. with hamstring tendons.. it still is really sore.. dont start physio yet.. but some of the excercises that the physio told me to do are seriously sore..!
I don't blame you for not looking forward to it. Who looks foward to having thier knee cut on. All will be good though. It really hurt when they took mine out!!
