A member asked:
I had a acl recon 2 1/2 years ago and my hamstring (where the graft is from) is only functioning at about 30% from 100%. physio not working. help pls?

Hmmmm?: All graft choices gave potential problems and one problem with hamstrings is residual weakness but only 30% is a lot. If pt has failed i would probably get it checked. Usually two tendons are harvested leaving sartorial and biceps as knee flexors. If you also lose sartorius then you might have more weakness.
