ACLs' using Hamstring graft

2018-06-11 08:58:48
I have had ACL reconstruction in 2016 with Hamstring graft. I tore my ACL again of the same knee and and I am going for a revision surgery, using hamstring from the other knee. Since hamstrings of both my knees would have been used as a graft, does that imply chances of early arthritis? Or any other Hamstring related issue? Is there any way to avoid that?

There is not association between using hamstrings for ACL reconstruction and early OA.
