Guest guest Posted February 22, 2012 Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 Hi everyone, I have a 16 year old competitive gymnast who has a full ACL tear. She will be having surgery as soon as she gets her full ROM back in her knee, however is now trying to decide whether to take the graft from the hamstring tendon or the patellar tendon. The surgeon said he would do either one, but that the hamstring was less pain but healed slower. She would like to return to gymnastics as soon as possible. My question is what have you seen in patients with this surgery re: quicker recovery times, decreased pain and more successful repairs? Thanks in advance, Ross, DCBloom Natural Healthcare 125 NE Killingsworth St. #101Portland, OR 97211BloomNaturalHealthcare.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
