Why dont cadaver grafts work on 20 yr olds but do over 40?
@beurky9 күн бұрын
Excellent video. Thank you. Can you say more around the 40 plus, and lessened risk for re-repture for allograft? I'm concerned about the hamstring autograft becuae I fear a future hamstring tear (I'm hard on my hamstrings and have had multiple trauma/strains previously) Im 39 and considering an allograft. I have a very active/physically intemse job and I'd like to play football again into my 50's (if i dont break something else). It sounds like my best strategy is allograft and forever wear a brace during sport as a precaution. Do I have this right? Or is there something else to consider?

I'm a little confused. Is the hamstring graft more appropriate for a very active 40 year old that runs 100 milers, goes to jujitsu 2-3x/week, and squats/lifts heavy?
@seanbear699 күн бұрын
ah no. Cadaver patella tendon would be the choice. faster recovery, less post-operative pain, less chance of hamstring issues.
@BennyHillLeavesComments9 күн бұрын
@seanbear69 thank you for the feedback! My understanding is the cadaver is less effective and more likely to fail in very active people, which is why they do it in older or less active people. But you're saying it's actually better.

My surgeon suggested quadriceps graft because hamstring graft could cause more instability issues in my knee. I have multiple damaged ligaments so anything that affects stability is a no go. His reason for choosing quad over patella was that patella can give more problems with pain and a larger scar. Tho quad graft makes the rehab slower initially, it seems the best for me in the long run. This video gave me insight into the different grafts and makes me confident we picked the best option, thanks!

I had ACL surgery and bucket-handle tear in my meniscus. Surgeon tried to reattach the bucket-handle but it didn't hold so he had to remove the torn part. But due to removal, it meant that I was able to walk right away. The graft I opted with was hamstring graft since I had heard about the issues with patellar tendon and life-long ghost pain in your knee or while being on top of your knees. There are some positions (walking stairs or raising you leg while knee is bent) where I can feel the area clearly from where the graft was taken but in normal walking that's not an issue. Overall I think the healing is progressing pretty nicely and don't regret going with hamstring graft.

2 months update: There hasn't been any issues with the hamstring craft I opted. The main cut has healed well, the original feeling of pain when rotating knee has pretty much disappeared. Main issues have been the regular ACL stuff (extending and bending your knee) and loss of some muscle mass from the thigh. Leg extension is pretty smooth now although lacking some hyper extension, bending the knee has also gotten better although it's only 125 degree according to physiotherapist. Have been doing mostly the common ACL rehab movements, lightweight gym training (e.g. leg extensions) as well as flexibility exercises. Nothing still prevents me from living normal live, like walking stairs, cycling or even doing leg exercises at a gym. As long as I don't do anything rash, e.g deep squats or load very heavy sets then everything is fine, and can do just fine things like Romanian deadlifts, leg presses, one leg squats, etc. Looking forward for the 3rd and 4th month when I can finally start also jogging. Overall I'm very positive about my healing process and thought it would be much more troublesome and painful based on the things I knew pre-injury and heard from others related to ACL. Sure, healing and rehab takes time but I consider it's a short time and price to pay for it as long as I get back to full health. Just recommend everyone to be patient and follow rehab instructions!

why is there less rupture for 40 year olds getting an autograft vs younger? Does it have to do with activity levels or something else? If a 40 year old is highly active would you recommend an autograft or allograft?
@cwavygaming66152 ай бұрын
Because 40 year olds aren’t as active as younger people 40 year olds aren’t typically running around like a 20 year old is

My daughter has just torn her ACL, MCL, and meniscus, maybe more. She is 25. I live 1000 miles away but want to go and help her. Roughly, how long will it be before she can be independent enough to be on her own? Left knee. Thanks
@209275chu3 ай бұрын
I had exactly the same what your daughter has. Just had my surgery ACL reconstruction and a meniscus root repair. MCL needs to heal first before surgery. It took me 4 months to have my MCL and LCL to heal by itself. In those 4 months I managed to be independent after the first 2 months until surgery. Currently in my 7th week of fysio. Post surgery she probably needs help the first 4 to 5 months, before she can be independent.

I have a complete acl tear that qualifies for a repair because it is so high, but I opted for a full reconstruction because I’m a motocross racer and hiker. The surgeon I saw last week was going to do a BTB graft, but my new surgeon is recommending a quadriceps graft. My surgery is Wednesday. The reason for the change of surgeons is because I have a bucket handle tear on my meniscus and it’s time sensitive. I’m nervous and I’m hoping the quadricep grafts gives me a chance at a full return to sports in a year or so.

Right now taking steriods pack, ice pack and trying to do some leg exercises to help. So far not so good. Not sure what to do next. I'm 63.
