Hi, was hoping to get some feedback from folks who have had ACL surgery in terms of what kind of graft they used. Unfortunately, I recently suffered a complete tear of my ACL along with a torn meniscus with surgery scheduled for the 13th of Feb. I'm in my early 50's and under consideration of my desire to get back to my pre-injury level of activities (I race cyclcross and mtb, along with being a life-long avid skier) the doctors initial recommendation was an allograft - due to my age and his view that there is not a meaningful difference in the structural integrity of the knee between the two options (as well as the more invasive nature of harvesting a tendon from your own body). I'm trying to sift through the plethora of information on-line, but still haven't come to firm conclusion on which way to go. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Matt
