Ski Diva Extraordinaire
Arggggg. I just blew my ACL in Jackson Hole on Wednesday! This thread has been a good discussion, but I'm more confused than ever about graft choice. Patella sounds like decent risk of future pain and long rehab. Hamstring graft sounds like many people feel the donor site, but it's not a big deal. Other than being weird, it doesn't sound like anyone had a bad experience with allograft?
I have also heard of a synthetic?
I'm a bit to surprised to hear about pre-hab? I thought it was best to get the surgery as soon as possible. Also, I can't imagine doing prehab. 4 days post accident I have very little range of motion and serious discomfort on weight bearing attempts. My knee is very unstable and collapses inward with the slightest pressure! Painful.
How much work did you divas with ACL reconstruction have to take off work? I'm a bit concerned about the non-sport consequences as well.
