I wonder the same thing. A friend of a friend had allograft done 4 days after my contralateral patella tendon, and he's now having huge problems. He was on bed rest for 3 weeks post op per his surgeon. Since then he's had his knee drained 3 times. The first yielded blood, the latter 2 yielded yellow liquid. The Dr. thinks he's rejecting the graft. Doesn't look good. I gave him all of the info that I had dug up when he injured his knee, but he didn't use it!!!
