10 yrs ago I had an 18 year old mind in a 40 year old body and blew out my knee skiing. I have lived with no acl for many years, and now, before the instability gets much worse and further damage is done, it is time to go to a body shop and get new parts!! ;-0 (I asked the doc to order me a skinny butt too, but he wasn't very cooperative on that point).
So, I have decided to have the patellar tendon bone tendon bone allograft. The recovery time is long
It takes a full year for the graft to be complete. But the doctor said maybe in eight to twelve weeks, I can start diving again (but only if I put my gear on in the water, and not hike over rocks etc).
Is there anything I can do pre and post surgery to hasten the healing process? I will be commited to physical therapy, but more than anything, I want to be back in the water.
Have you heard of any bad side effects caused by diving with these types of grafts?
