What part of knee?
I’m 10 weeks out from a MPFL replacement using a cadaver tendon
The tendons are “processed”, there is little to no chance of rejection, your body sees it as a medical device like a pacemaker
I did get paperwork with a code do that if I wanted to send a thank you letter to the family of the person whose tendon I received I could send it to them & they would forward it on
I’ll say I didn’t think recovery would be this tough, I’m just getting close to a 110 degree bend, still have 4-6 weeks of PT
Pain isn’t bad at all, it’s mostly stiffness

I don't even think we type for these things. They do have a rejection rate, but it is low and hell, sometimes peoples immune system will reject a medical device, its just there is nothing for your cells to kill with a medical device. I guess reject might be the wrong word, maybe immune response is more appropriate.
