Post by: turbowildcat on March 27, 2007, 12:41:41 PM

Does anybody in the medical proffesion know if he will fully recover. What are the percentages?

I’m not a doctor, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn last night, so here’s the scoop.  ACL surgery has gotten to the point that, with the use of cadaver tendon or other, stronger ligaments in the host’s body such as a hamstring tendon, the repaired ACL is actually stronger and less prone to additional future injuries than the original ligament was.  If Walker is willing to push hard in his recovery therapy these is no reason he won’t be as strong or stronger next fall than he was before he ripped his ACL...

Sounds like Tommy John surgery.

Dead humans or pigs.  A tendon is not a living tissue like a heart or lungs.  It more like a fingernail or a heart valve.  There can be no rejection of the tissue by the recipient.  I know this because my cardiologist keeps telling me that an aortic valve replacement is in my future and he recommends pig valves!  Oink...

It is, except in the knee rather than the elbow.
