In Response To: Re: acl lars (PatriciaFox)

I'm a soccer player, and wouldn't suggest an auto-hamstring for a kicker. He'll lose part of his muscle for the graft. I have had acl repairs in both knees. Auto-patellar in one and auto-hamstring in the other. For competitive sports, I have found the auto-patellar to be the quickest return to sports. And if you go with taking the patellar graft from the opposite knee like Dr. Mark mentioned, the return is quicker.
Good luck!
