I am going to my surgeon tomorrow to discuss acl reconstructive surgery. I tore it slightly when I was 16 and in January I tore it completely (i'm 25 now) I tried the therapy route and it helped, but not enough. I have a 2 1/2 year old daughter I need to keep up with. I'm not really active in sports, but I would like to be. My question is, how effective is this surgery and should I use a graft from my own knee or leg, or a cadaver graft? I've done quite a bit of research online and even watched some surgeries. I know I'll have a tough road of therapy afterwards, but I'm very willing to do it.
Also, how soon would I be able to return to work? I bartend on saturdays at my parents bar. Nothing too busy, just a laid back country bar. I don't want to be out too long, but just looking for some sort of timeframe. Thanks! :)
