1. My ACL Reconstruction
March 20, 2012

2. What you need to know…
• The surgery took roughly 90 minutes to complete.
• It took two doctors and two nurses to complete the
procedure.
• I elected to have a hamstring autograft, which
means they would graft (yank, stretch and cut) my
own hamstring to build a new ACL.

3. Prior to ACL surgery…
• …the doctor noticed loose cartilage and tendons
between the bones that he needed to clean up.
