Have you wondered how to make your knee stronger? There are several knee strengthening exercises you can be doing before ACL surgery and after ACL surgery which will help in your recovery.
For me I went with a hamstring graft. There is virtually no long term success difference between the grafts Hamstring, Patella or Cadaver. The Cadaver graft recovers a little quicker initially but they all are about the same.
For me the more important question was what my Surgeon was more comfortable with, if I had a surgeon who had done 90% of his ACL surgeries with a Patella I would go with it, even though it would be my 3rd choice all other things being equal.
Good luck with your surgery and recovery.
This is the typical question I receive on the topic of ACL surgery and what is the strongest option.
Did they take a tendon, if so which one? OR Was it the patella ligament? OR an allograft (from ACL of cadaver) ?
I am wondering if you have any knowledge or can refer me to any research on which is more successful for a woman like me,
p.ed teacher, 48 years old... I would like to know more... thought you might know more about this given what you have experienced.
