Non knee based graft like Peronius longus have shown better results it might be the graft of the future. My hamstrings are still weak even several years post aclr
Pettla graft crippled me for life. I have talked with one of the best surgeons in the country and has no idea what to do. The tendon didn't heal right after harvesting from a different surgeon. I am worried I am gonna have to quit my trade because I have to kneel but my surgeon didn't care and manipulated me into the surgery. Quad graft is the best and has the least amount of complications. My other knee was done with that graft by they skilled surgeon and it feels almost exactly like it used to be. My right is just utterly ruined and it is noticeable in my walk. I am a welder and have to move my body in strange ways and my knee is gonna be the death of me. I asked if my surgeon can just remove the screws, remove the scar tissue and try and repair the damage the other surgeon caused. The surgeon I am with now said it would probably cause more damage and would probably make me wheel chair bound. He recommended PRP or stem cells instead. Insurance doesn't cover it so I am screwed.
@Martial166 Strongest graft but is the most likely to cause permanent knee pain. Quad graft is similar in strength and causes no pain to harvest site when healed. The graft is not the issue for me it is the harvest site
I had my surgery on 13th March, 24. I'm able to walk now, but my patella gets stuck when I'm walking. I'm not able to bend by knee while walking. However, if I'm sitting or lying on bed, I have no problem in bending my knee. Did anyone ever experience this? Any tips or advice? Thanks

My patella graft seems shorter and tighter. The whole joint still cracks 8 years on.
