As far as I've seen, even the doctors in UK and Europe are choose LARs are as a last resort. The most promising thing about LARs is the marketing they do for this product.

I'm 1 year out and my knee feels very good and normal. I did a lot of research, and it's 2 parts to a successful surgery anyways:

1.) good surgeon who does perfect graft placement

2.)early and persistent rehab with full extension and flexation achieved @ 8-12 weeks.
