Graft: I have seen the patellar tendon used as a graft in your situation. Consult your orthopedist.

Depends: On the preference of your surgeon. Also this answer is dependent on the viability of your tissues to use as a graft. The decision may not be made until you are already in surgery. Discuss options with your surgeon.
