I tore my ACL in football.Should I do artificial or non-artificial entrench?Anyone who went for artificial?
Answers: I just have my ACL replaced last topple. My understanding is that most orthopedic surgeons prefer non-artifical graft as they tend to "take" better and thus, ultimately offer better results. However, it is a personal judgment that you need to be comfortable next to, and your surgeon should be able to endow with you the pro's and con's of either alternative. If he or she can't or won't, it's time to find a clean surgeon!
By the way, I chose a cadaver ACL, also certain as an allograph, and have be very thankful with it.
Hope this help - and good luck!
