The Struggle

[leebick 448]

@Crevidae, my husband had the very same surgery on his knee, where they relocated the middle third of his patellar tendon into his knee to replace his ACL. It held up well for about 20 years or so... and this is a guy who runs about 30 miles a week. He's finally had to stop running and is scheduled for a high tibial osteotomy because his knee is basically bone on bone in some areas, but that's mostly due to arthritis and "misuse" (aka, too much running with a bum knee!). We were very thankful he had the patellar/ACL "transplant" all those years ago; it gave his knee a new life!
