Your Options

When you are talking to the surgeon, he will talk about the options. He told me I could not have the surgery. The problem is that I would never be able to play club ball. Or I could have the surgery and go through all the therapy. There is the cadaver surgery. Where the doctor takes a tendon from a donor. This is the best one because you are not injured anywhere on your leg. The only risk with this is that the graft does not take to your body. (This is what happened to me, the graft did not take to my knee) The fact that my body didnt accept the graft was not likely to happen. But it does happen. Also there is the Hamstring procedure. The doctor pulls out two of the three lateral hamstrings. Called your semimembranosus and gracilis hamstrings. This leaves you with a second injury but the doctor is using live tissue. The tissue heals fast and gets stronger faster. Last is the Petella tendon surgery. This one is not used anymore by most doctors. Surgery really is your best option.
