WSR Gridiron Report

What a shame. I feel badly for him. Is it the same knee?

this is an enormous blow to the secondary. he was their leader and best player. brutal!

Some orthopods are using the Achilles tendons harvested from cadavers and after rehab the Achilles tendon has the same tendencies as the original tissue of the acl.

You can never know nukengr.

Six months is the time given by most for rehabbing an acl tear. Obviously he was cleared to play, and I can't remember when he injured it the first time.

There is some controversy as to what kind of tissue to use, and I don't know if it was publicized as to how the surgery was performed the first time. The standard used to be harvesting your own tissue, either from the patella tendon or muscle from the hamstring.

Some still don't like using tissue from other sources because of the potential for infection.

Best wishes for a full recovery. We have some good orthopods in Tucson.
