the critics of bone-patellar tendon-bone surgery claim that you can have long term knee pain from this surgery, as well as an increased risk of breaking your patella with a hard fall onto your knee. otherwise it is a fine surgery to do

1st: quadrupled hamstring tendons have the highest load to failure of ANY method of ACL fixation. higher than any 'donor graft' tissue, and also higher than bone-patellar tendon-bone---this is proven, don't challenge me on it 2nd: the bone-patellar tendon-bone procedure typically has the largest incision (who cares how big the incision is, as long as it does not fail). donor graft surgeries typically have smaller incisions (slightly) because you don't have to harvest the patients' tissues. 3rd: there is an EXCELLENT surgeon at children's hospital who does several ACL surgeries per week, who prefers to use the patients' own hamstring tendons--he operates on high school and college athletes primarily. the reasearch has shown that running speed and hamstring strength decreases minimally, if at all. the patients who have donor graft surgeries have not been shown to recover faster. you have to read literature very carefully, as people try to prove things that they want to do. in other words, there are many studies that ARE TRYING to show that the donor graft surgery recovers faster. why are they trying to do this?? read #4 4th: the reason it has become popular to use 'donor grafts' for ACL surgery is that the surgery can be done DRAMATICALLY faster--the surgery time can be literally cut in half. also, some surgeons are not comfortable harvesting the patients hamstrings (it is very easy to accidentally cut them while harvesting them). sorry, but that is the real reason to use donor graft surgery---its easier to do--trust me. 5th: donor tissue does not incorporate into your body and heal as fast as your own harvested tissue. so while the donor tissue may be just as strong at the time of surgery, it's strength decreases with time, until it finally heals and incorporates into the body, when compared to your own tissue.

i'll try to make it

it would be something to race both of our GTO's (both blue), but i don't think i'll be able to make it out this weekend

+1 "who's linda, the girl with all that shit in her face" "no, that's my wife"

the original poster had a bone-patellar tendon-bone procedure. the 'donor graft' surgery, uses a completely different tendon (tibialis anterior), and still leaves a fairly decent sized incision. it also does not incorporate in and heal as quickly as your own tissue does. finally, the hamstring procedure produces excellent results, with very little if any hamstring weakness. the horror stories you've heard are probably misconceptions.

bump. someone buy this, i don't want to own one of the only impulse blue goats in columbus

i don't know if anyone's ever seen the movie "running scared", its kind of a shitty movie with paul walker in it. anyways, part of the way through the movie, his neighbor's son gets kidnapped by a middle aged couple (the lady is in the show lost), who take them to their apartment, where they film kiddy porn, and then film themselves killing the children--its very fucked up, and i would consider their characters pretty god damned creepy

no supplements here, ever. tried creatine once for a month way back in college, that's it. i just eat a lot.

patrick bateman--american psycho the movie does NOT do the book justice. this guy is truly fucked up

that is why i rarely sell anything. sometimes, unfortunately, you take a risk selling something (sounds foolish, i know)

i rolled through just because i happened to be in the area working. it was dead at around 10:30

i read that, but i guess you never know, unless you've had it on your car. either way, it DOES sound like the guy is trying to scam someone into buying it, or at least not being hinest about things.

how did you know the turbo was in perfect working order before you sold it??? if you never put it on your car, then you never knew what condition it was really in. unless it came to you perfectly sealed having NEVER been opened, then you don't know for sure. it sounds like that may have been the case, but who knows. it sounds like he's trying to scam someone, but either way, when you sell and re-sell shit, this outcome is always a possibility.

staples??????? holy shit, god, why?? good luck with the recovery.

wow. i never quite made it to 405. got to 390, when i weighed 235lbs, but i can't afford to get hurt at all, so 315's the highest i go now. for someone at 180lbs, that weight is insane

i will fix the any broken arms that result from this, it happens.

not a bad idea. just don't stare too long at the hookers that have been rumored to frequent that particular S&W

i don't think they have a raquetball court. the wife and i pay roughly $60/month for a family membership. with my employee discount, we paid half that at world's on the plus side, when i visit the inlaws in canton, ohio, i can use my Y membership to get in for free there.

i'm seriously thinking rejoining world's on hilliard rome. i hate going to the ymca with all the high school douchebags, and they don't have anything over 100lbs dumbbells--not that i use them a ton--incline bench, shrugs, etc.

i've heard that they grenade rear ends like no one's business. i have no facts to support this, but there have been many complaints

that's weird.

wow

+1 on a side note, i just got a check for the siding on my house from the hailstorm. there was not enough damage to the roof to have it replaced--according to both the adjuster and the roofing contractor i had there at the same time. we'll see what happens to my insurance rate
