I tore it mid december and got surgery Dec 30. They told me 6 months till i can get back to sports but since thats late june it means my season is done. They used a patellar tendon graft. My surgeon (who was a skier) said that it is the best for skiers because it grows back as opposed to the hamstring which she said isn't proven to grow back.
