The Shelbourne Knee Center Podcast

In this third Patients Place episode, we shift focus to sports medicine, specifically exploring graft choices following an ACL injury.

Dr. Benner walks listeners through the essential conversation about graft options, covering the pros and cons of allografts, hamstring grafts, quadriceps tendon grafts, and the highly recommended patellar tendon graft. Understand the decision-making process behind ACL reconstruction and learn why the patellar tendon graft is often considered the superior choice for long-term stability and recovery.

The episode also addresses common patient concerns, such as healing times, retear risks, and the innovative approach of harvesting the graft from the contralateral knee to optimize rehabilitation.
