I know that this has been discussed before.... I am just curious if anyone knows what type of ACL repairs the top pros have had... Like Dowdy doesn't look like he has missed a beat. I tore my ACL on Aug 28 and I am having the surgery on Sept 15. I am going with my Dr's recommendation of the hamstring graft. My situation is that I am 45 yrs old and I hope that I can recover and convince my wife to let me ride like I want to again. I tore it trying to learn TS front roll and cased the wake. I can land my tantrums consistently and Scarecrows most of the time... I used to have the HS bankroll but lost it when I finally figured out the trip flip edge for the tantrum.... Just curious to see what the Pro's opted for surgery wise. I will rehab hard and feel confident that I will be fine to ride again, but I tore my quad tendon on the other (left) leg the 1st day on the water in '14 and then re-tore it 8 weeks post op.... So this will be the 3rd knee surgery in 3 summers.... I am really bummed at the thought of having to surf... No adrenaline in that....
