Hi, This Follows My Recent Questions. I Saw A Surgeon

Looking for detailed response. Thanks.
Patellar or Hamstring tendons are a better option.
Detailed Answer:
Hello.
Thanks for writing again.
Using patellar or hamstring tendon is preferable to cadaver tendon as the acceptance of the own tissue is higher and healing is faster. The re tearing depends on the wear and tear of the knee. In case of stressful activities, any tendon can get torn.
Regarding the regrowth or the patellar tendon, only a small part- partial thickness is used and rest of the tendon helps in the repair.
The results of surgery and healing largely depend on the surgery. As there are too many factors responsible for healing and tearing there are no such specific studies available comparing the both.
Your surgeon is the best person to decide the tendon best for you after a detailed examination.
Regards.
