Acl reconstruction
I'm a 20 year old athlete. I tore my acl during practices. Which graft would be a good choice for reconstruction surgery. Which graft do you use and why?
Answers (2)
in india, most surgeons use hamstring grafts. being an athlete doesn't really necessitate graft choices. leave it upto the surgeon and his comfort zone.
Unless u r a sprinter or into trekking / rock climbing, in which case, opt for a patellar tendon-bone graft.
I personally use hamstrings, and augment with prp injections for athletes.
