...graft surgery? Initial injury in October 2008. Found out yesterday b/c of misdiagnoses that I completely blew my ACL. Need reconstructive surgery. Doctor said we need donor my size (6'1" /265lbs) and that body built, b/c my legs are so muscular...Said I would be 100% again (all I cared about)...but isn't it kind of weird that i need a donor/cadaver? Is it b/c of my size? Why not graft from hammy or patella? Is the donor surgery a better outcome? If so, i'm game...
