Hey Andrea! I had the achilles cadaver, so I never had experience with patellar or hamstring. I have actually heard bad/good things about each way….I heard with hamstring, as you mentioned, it never retains the full strength it once had. But I also heard with patellar route that they may experience pain upon contact and other things…of course, I heard with cadaver grafts that you can get infectious diseases yadiyadah…but mine turned out great….

Thanks for the info. I tore my Left ACL in 2002 and had the hamstring graft done. Two weeks ago I tore my Right ACL and was wondering if the hamstring or patellar graft is the way to go. I’ve had no problems with my left ACL since the surgery and have heard some negative feedback from the patellar route. So I’m thinking Hamstring is the way to go.
However since the surgery my femoral bicep muscle is flat even though I have trained it. I’m interested in doing a fitness competition possibly in the near future and was wondering if anyone else had this problem after ACL surgery. Is there any way to build up the femoral bicep to get it where it once was? Any feedback would be appreciated. Thanks!

Great post! I’ve been curious about all this ACL talk! Well, I think I’m lucky because 1. I don’t do those machines 2. I’m on the pill and 3. I do plyo. But, my knees are small and joint problems run in my family.. sooo I guess I should start training my hammies more!
