ACL SURGERY Quad Tendon Graft Pros & Cons

[@cwavygaming6615]

My quad graft tore again after a year smh

[@LoveyourzAF]

Im having the toughest time . Injured (complete acl tear July 2022) forced to wait on the VA till march 2023 to get surgery. 6 months into "recovery" im now having serious issues. And scheduled for an MRI tomorrow. I was powerlifting and playing FlagFTB before this. Now i can barely out weight on my leg again. Going without pain meds is not even an option. Nearly 2 years behind this. And im over it.

[@LoveyourzAF]

But happy you're posting about this because there isn't much on this specifically.

[@mariopena3958]

What graft did you use?

[@itdontmatterbro]

Did the Va send you out patient? Or you getting surgery directly at the Va I’m worried it will take forever for me to get acl reconstruction through them as well.

Dude I literally experienced the same thing, yesterday I had my acl reconstruction surgery.

9 months post quad graft. Still have a noticeable dimple where the middle third quad meets the QT. Any tips on rebuilding the quad?

[@theinquisitiveleo]

I’m around 1 year and 3 months out from this surgery and I am still struggling with the foot to butt flexion as described in this video. Is there anything you would recommend doing to help with this?

[@deeppulusani4113]

Thx for the video. 35M deciding between quad autograft and btb autograft. No kneeling activities except taking care of baby/toddler. Primary sport tennis. With the quad graft I am worried about being able to bend and stay in a low athletic stance for the entirety of a match. I have heard donor site pain can prevent some from doing this. Do you have any insight on this and which graft may be better for a tennis player and hiker?

Can you make a vid about what equipments are a must to get for a physio sport center?

[@asianangler]

so which graft is the best for young athletes?

[@jasmyn323]

This is what I’m thinking about bc I’m 14 and I have my surgery in 3 weeks and dk if I should do the patella graft or the quad graft😭

[@asianangler]

@@jasmyn323 my daughter , who's 15, just had her ACL. We went with quad and that's what the doctor recommended too.

[@karllagundi7431]
