Question

What are the downsides of choosing a hamstring graft instead of a patellar graft for ACL surgery I'm a 19-year-old athlete and worried about how it might affect my performance or recovery long-term Is a hamstring graft worse than a patellar graft for ACL reconstruction I play sports and want to know if it'll impact my strength or flexibility later As a young athlete getting ACL surgery, should I avoid a hamstring graft I've heard it might not be as strong as the patellar option and I don't want to risk my future in sports What are the risks of using a hamstring graft for ACL repair I'm 19 and really active so I need something that won't hold me back later Would a hamstring graft make my recovery harder or limit my athletic ability compared to a patellar graft I'm only 19 and want to get back to sports as strong as before
