Comments on: ACL Update: 5 Days Post-Surgery http://14erskiers.com/brittanysblog/2009/03/acl-update-5-days-post-surgery/ The life experiences of Brittany Walker Konsella Mon, 23 Apr 2012 14:43:46 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Kerriann http://14erskiers.com/brittanysblog/2009/03/acl-update-5-days-post-surgery/comment-page-1/#comment-1409 Kerriann Thu, 01 Mar 2012 19:18:29 +0000 http://www.14erskiers.com/brittanysblog/?p=435#comment-1409 This was very helpful and encouraging as I am scheduled to have my first ACL surgery on Tues March 20th 2012. I tore my ACL and MCL about 3 wks ago snow skiing in Virginia, it was suppose to be a romantic couples weekend that ended too soon. My Dr. suggested using a allograft vs. my hamstring. After reading some literature I am bit freaked about the possibility of my body rejecting the foreign ligament. So here I sit reading your blog and seem to have recovered just fine..did your dr. persuade you to use the allograft? And have you returned to an active lifestyle with any limitations?

I tore mine in 2008 and had a hamstring graft- so far so good. I'm also conducting a quick acl survey today if you or anyone else can offer their feedback. It takes 1 minute, but the results will be valuable when I post them later. Thanks for your help and speedy recovery! http://www.aclsurgery.us/acl-survey/ Those pictures always look gross- but I have some too from my ACL surgery.
