Torn acl and unrepairable meniscus.
Surgery over. Hamstring graft used (Autograft). Tear in white zone of meniscus (hence trimmed it). Now my leg is not as it was pre injury. I have a trimmed meniscus & (less hamstring tendons) (since it is harvested for surgery). MY QUESTION IS :will that effect my sports life (football & basketball). Can I do all heavy work which I supposed to do.

Don't worry. Cheteshwar Pujara and Suresh Raina have underwent similar surgery. If they can play internationals after surgery, why u can't. rehabilitation/ physiotherapy is as important as surgery .
