Thanks for the information. Yeah my son was a soccer player then joined the football team to kick.I think he is sorry now. My daughter is 15 and on a U19 traveling team. So did you ever consider the synthetic that they are doing in Canada and Europe. I have done alot of reseach and they have really come along way.
I like the fact that your own grows back.We were thinking if we didnt go that route the patellar or the hamstring. Not the cadaver. it freaked him out!! so how long did it take to get back to sports? since My son is kicking and not pivoting on that leg maybe it would be less time.He will not be playing his senior year but hopefully he can get his strengh back and play in junior college. it looks like from what i have been reading that it will cause him problems the rest of his life or is it that the people that get the surgery are more active so they tend to get hurt more often. i imagine a sedate person would never have to redo.
thanks again
