[QUOTE="kirks5oh, post: 16948922, member: 23235"] The meniscus is either repairable or not, based on the patient age and location of the tear. It’s harder to repair, which is why some surgeons don’t repair it. That, and the recovery is longer for a repair. But if they can repair it—it’s better for you in the long run You can write a book on what ligament to use for acl surgery. Cadaver tendon is easiest and quickest because the surgeon doesn’t have to harvest a tendon/ligament. But the cadaver tendon is slow to encorporate into your body because it’s not your tissue—I wouldn’t go with cadaver tendon, and my opinion is that any surgeon who only offers that, is being lazy and only concerned with doing the surgery quicker. Using your own tissue is best—you won’t be any slower/weaker/etc if they use your tissue for the reconstruction. The patellar tendon is strongest, but could leave you with some pain kneeling long term. The correct answer is to go with what the surgeon is most comfortable with—I’d lean towards hamstring if it were me. But your overall outcome will depend most heavily on the effort you put into rehab, therapy, and following postop instructions closely. [/QUOTE]
