What type of ACL Graft is best for me?

When you tear your Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL), the remaining tissue is often inadequate for repair, necessitating the construction of a new ligament from a graft. In this blog, we explore the different types of ACL grafts available—Quadriceps tendon, Hamstring tendon, Patellar tendon, Allograft (cadaver), and the innovative Bridge Enhanced ACL Repair (BEAR). Each option has its unique benefits and considerations, such as strength, recovery time, and potential complications. Understanding these differences is crucial for making an informed decision tailored to your lifestyle and activity goals.
