I asked my PA if the tendon was fresh for lack of a better term
She said it’s not frozen but processed & something something radioactive & thats why it doesn’t have to be typed
There is always a chance of rejection but she said it’s basically zero

Yeah, the are nuked pretty good, but I am not sure what they use. I pulled some papers, total failures of all kinds are a little over 3% and rejection was 0.61% out of that 3% of rejections making it pretty rare. If there are no living cells there is nothing for your immune system to kill. Looks like the biggest problem is reabsorption but that isn't life threatening. Sure would be a PITA though to have to do the surgery again.
