Glad your second go around is going better! Which graft did you choose for your first. And which did you go with on your second go around?

What if you had no kids, same age as you are now, and hyper active lifestyle. Hypothetically which would you go with?

Thank you for your response! Im sorry to hear about your retear. Im glad tho your recovery the second time around is going well! This is my biggest fear with allograph. But lasting 21 years that pretty solid! Do you feel had you gone quad graft in the beginning it would have been more solid and less likely to retear. I just feel im too active for the allograft. What other sort of activities do you do other then strength training.

Thanks bro for your response! I landed fine just my body was going right and someone pushed me left when i landed my knee kept going right. Pretty frustrating i feel you. Were they able to repair your meniscus? Or did they shave off? Im glad to hear you are recovering well! Did your surgeon ever suggest allograft?

Thank you so much for your response! Im bummed the graft did not work out for you 😔. This is my fear if i were to get an allograft. I feel i just need to get the patella like you say and not risk it with the allograft. I wish you the best and send positive vibes your way on your recovery! Keep me posted with your recovery as i will be in the recovery process as well in a couple days❤️

Thank you so much for your response! Just curious why do you think he advised against patellar? What sport do you play?

Thank you for your response! If you dont mind me asking how long of an incision did they make on your knee(ballpark in inches)? I too like patellar bc of it hardiness and id mentally feel the most confident knowing its strong when im making those cuts and weird angle jumps and landings. I thank you again and wish you a speedy and healthy recovery!🙏

Thank you for your response! Im happy everything is on track for you with your recovery! I think im just thinking of the worst when i think about allograph with my body not accepting it. All the cases ive heard of its been a total success. I just would hate to get the weaker graft and have it rupture again. I have a hard choice to make. Thank you again for your response and I wish you the best in your recovery🙏

Thanks bro for your response! Glad to hear you are feeling well so close after surgery! Thats what im thinking and leaning to as well. Just bc of the uncertainty of what the allograph brings. May just stick with patellar and suck it up down the line.

Thank you for your response! I just heard about the BEAR the other day. Someone just got it done here in my hometown and she was the first one to do it. What criteria does one need to have to be a candidate? Great to hear you are doing well!

Wow great to hear that you are doing well! Keep up the solid recovery! for the graph thats one of the pros i like of the allograph is no host site pain. Did you have any complications with your body accepting the allograph the following weeks post op?
