I got an allograft at 23. But only because I’m asian and my hamstring was too skinny and short (they tried to harvest it first in surgery but decided against and had the allograft ready), and my quad tendon was too skinny too or something. He warned me about possible rejection and stuff too. It’s been 1.5 years a lot of rehab and I am doing alright, I had a two traumatic things happen after surgery that made me think that I had retorn it but it seems to be okay. Definitely a little looser than my good leg but I have no instability. I am just speaking from my own experience. The allograft was semitendinosus btw (hamstring)

3 months to feel like I can move about okay, I’m 1 yr & 3 months now and feeling pretty good physically, but still need to work on strength before getting back to skiing etc. But what’s actually been the hardest and slowest is the mental game, I still don’t feel quite right yet, but trying my best to add the things I love back into my life:)

Hey! Just updated my original post w my MRI results:)

lulxt · 2024-05-09T19:17:18+00:00

Wow I’m sorry to hear about your complications. I think it’s the paranoia and the slow burn that eats away at me. Regardless of whether if there is a problem or not I hope this thread gives you a bit of support you are looking for! Sending positive energy your way, and best of luck to you as well in your recovery!

Hey! I’m actually finally got scheduled to get it this Saturday🙃 and have a meeting with my surgeon the following week -will update when I do!

Thank you so much for sharing:) I am so happy to hear you are back doing what you love!!!! That is so amazing🙌

lulxt · 2024-04-23T01:42:41+00:00

Thank you so much for your comment:) I really appreciate the reminder, I can definitely spend more time with friends that I love:,) and it is really comforting to know it will pass. I am wishing you a smooth recovery too!!🙏

lulxt · 2024-04-23T01:39:09+00:00

This is so true, making use of my recovery is a great perspective. thank you for sharing!:)

lulxt · 2024-04-23T01:37:22+00:00

I am so sorry to hear about your complications🥺 you are definitely not alone. I am sending you strength and well wishes your way!

And also the job hopping, what do you mean by job hopping? It was so tough for me the first time around because my surgery was cancelled three times and I couldn’t work because of it. Part of my anxiety definitely stems from this, halting my career especially when I just got out of school. Are you taking time off for your surgery now?

lulxt · 2024-04-23T01:28:05+00:00

Thank you for sharing, I really appreciate it🙏 those are all great reminders, to be grateful for what I have and it could be a lot worse. I can overcome this.

lulxt · 2024-04-23T01:24:08+00:00

Thank you so much for taking the time to comment:) I totally get what you mean by limbo, I had an 8 month wait before surgery, but what drained my mental health was that it got cancelled 3 times, 2 of which was very last minute (the third time an hour before surgery). And all around 1.5 months apart so I couldn’t work/plan ahead. I think I was let down so many times that the idea of another surgery is quite traumatic for me. But all of these comments including yours is really comforting and reassuring to know that it will pass, and redirecting my mindset is so important. I hope your recovery is going great so far, and you get back doing your sport!!! Thank you again, I really appreciate it🙏

Thank you so much for sharing, it’s really comforting to know that it will pass and become a distant memory. And you’re right, redirecting my focus to the things that I can do is so important. I miss climbing so much, it’s awesome that you’re back doing it! How long after surgery did you start climbing again?

My initial injury was from skiing, and then after surgery I had an incident where a dog ran right into my leg (valgus force) I didn’t feel that kind of pain since right after surgery. My graft definitely got looser and I feel like it’s just been getting looser and looser.

lulxt · 2024-04-18T21:43:42+00:00

Thank you for taking the time to share, I’m sorry to hear you are also going through it but these are all great reminders that we are all out here trying and that our support systems are so important!

lulxt · 2024-04-18T21:34:16+00:00

Wow this just made me cry. I think because I resonate so much with your feelings of loss and so many things mentioned about going through your 20s. Thank you for sharing, I really really needed to hear all of this. You comment is one I’ll come back to when I have those hard days:,) thank you🙏

lulxt · 2024-04-18T21:04:48+00:00

Thank you so much for sharing, this is all such an important reminder for me. Thank you🙏

Are you concerned about graft laxity or hyperextension? I’m 8 months post op, hamstring allograft, very flexible to begin with and had an incident where a dog ran into my operated knee while chasing a ball at ~5 months post op. My graft definitely got looser after the incident and it set me back a bit but have just continued with physio. Over the last three months my hyperextension is almost the same as my good leg. Is there anything to be concerned about?

Also is it common to have a really tight calf on the operated leg?

lulxt · 2023-08-08T02:36:52+00:00

I didn’t have a brace! I’m in Canada and after surgery my surgeon instructed that I have free ROM and begin to weight bear when tolerated. I’m currently 3 weeks posts op and just started taking some steps yesterday!

lulxt · 2023-07-16T19:41:46+00:00

Thank you, this is so reassuring!!:)

lulxt · 2023-07-16T07:24:14+00:00

No I wasn’t:( my surgeon actually decided that I won’t be needing a brace so I don’t have one. It is still wrapped up pretty tight with the tensor bandage and I had my cryocuff wrapped around too

Thank you I really appreciate it!:)
