hamstring tears are common injuries after a conventional ACL recon though, so it is a valid statement

really? That's pretty interesting. Do you happen to know why?

(ftr, literally no sarcasm, I'm a bit interested :P )

When you have an ACL Recon your Hamstring is grafted, folded and put in your knee to die and then regrow into a new ligament in your knee.

Therefore you will have a very weak hamsting for a while.

cheers, I think I'd heard that before, but for some reason did not take note of it.

This is probably asking too much, but do you know what the % increase of injury is?

if you don't know off the top of your head, that's cool I'll google it tomoz and post it then :P

nope not sure. it would be lower for an afl footballer than an average joe though, just because they have better rehab facilities, more time etc.

Ziplock · December 08, 2011, 03:45:48 AM

mmm, maybe. Afl players also have a far more active lifestyle, and more strain on the hamstring though

Hayes, a three time All-Australian, admitted it would be optimistic to expect him to immediately return to his pre-injury form but said that he had never felt as fresh entering preseason training.
