For an acl ligament knee reconstruction if your hypermobile or have eds is it best to have an allograft rather than autograft to reduce failure risk?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably allograft : Good question there is probably no statistically significant difference allograft reconstruction do well in many settings and eliminate donor site morbidity both grafts have a similar outcome
