He actually didn't even mention QT and I only learned of it since meeting him this morning. I will most certainly bring it up. We did discuss using the opposite patella tendon and dismissed it. The reason being is that I would like one knee completely untouched. This leaves the the PT open for use should I ever have an issue with my opposite ACL. Not to mention, during my first recouperation period, I heavily relied on my opposite leg for getting mobile before I could put sufficient weight on the injured leg. Thanks for the advice,
