Incomplete rehab: Hamstring allografts often cause pain in the post-op period but rarely cause prolonged pain or functional problems. It may be sciatica (nerve pain) but if it is coming from you hamstring a pt that can help with an eccentric strengthening program and manual treatment to break up adhesions usually helps.
