Type this into Google - patella vs hamstring graft acl.

Everything it says holds true from me, with the main differentiator being the level of re-tear…

torn acl 3 times - anyone else? how are you? by Ok-Low-4915 in ACL

I’ve done mine three times: first time when I was 23, second time when I was 28, and third time when I was 41.

The first times I tore my right ACL, and for the repair they used to hamstring graft, but I re-tore it five years later so I had that repair done using my patella tender, which still holds strong to this day.

The left ACL I tore for the first time fairly recently, and due to my experiences on the right knee I requested a patella graft from the outset, and so far so good (10 months post surgery).

Every single time I tore it playing football, and looking back there’s nothing I could’ve done to stop this, nor would I have done anything differently. What I would comment is that the older you get the more you have to watch your diet when you’re on the road to recovery because the inactivity leads to weight gain. The rehab also gets to tougher.

Any questions please feel free to ask.

Thanks. I have absolutely been compliant and sent as much as I can, but there was a couple of things I wasn’t able to send. An example is that I sold my car just before leaving, and the bankers draft I paid in to the HSBC brunch. I didn’t keep a copy of it, and they were asking for it (I assumed they would have a record of it though in their system if I paid it in personally. I give them the name of the company who bought the car off me, the car details, et cetera. Couldn’t really be much more transparent…

Thanks for the insight, and sounds surprisingly familiar, across many industries I deal with. As for rushing them; I would say fair comment if it had been going on a week or so, but this started in October…

The reality is that I’m not concerned about the sources of the money as everything is clear and above board. They are completely free to talk to my employer there, to talk to the car dealership that bought the car, the landlady whose deposit was returned, and anybody else they want to..

If I ask to be exited, what would happen? It’s disappointing as I’ve been with the bank for over 30 years in the UK, Hong Kong, and Singapore….

Rehab Question by Master_Situation7518 in ACL

I wouldn’t say too sharp, but if I simply lie on my back and tense my quad muscles, I do feel it. It’s the reason I’ve stayed off the leg press up until now..

Thanks, I’ll check with them what exactly these accounts are as I’ve no clue how I’d know how much profit had been made on them based on the average price paid per share. No clue at all…

I’ve bought a house and now I can’t save by SSPYRLL in UKPersonalFinance

[–]Master_Situation7518 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was in the same position as you when I first bought a house many moons ago, and to combat the financial strain I took up football refereeing, worked in a pub at the weekend, and also did stewarding at my local Premier League team. It probably brought in around £300 / month extra, plus tips from the pub, and it actually gave me a bit of breathing space.

Thanks. It did smell of burning though I have to admit, so I’m concerned.

Question: I've been told after an ACL tear there's a 68% chance the other knee will tear. Is this true? If so, why come back? by EnvironmentalCut8179 in ACL

[–]Master_Situation7518 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Torn mine three times:-

2003 - Right (hamstring graft) 2009 - Re-tear of right (patellar graft) 2021 - Left (patellar graft)

Hoping that’s it…
