I am very nervous. I got the call yesterday for an allograft on Wed but don't even feel like I really know that much about the recovery from the procedure. Can anyone provide insight? What are the best crutches?

Have a look through this specific forum and also the post op diaries
http://www.kneeguru.co.uk/KNEEtalk/index.php?board=32.0
I expect you'll be in a brace, non weight bearing for a significant period and have a prescribed physio program. I discussed MACI on a similar defect, not quite the same but this is what I was told to expect at the time, plus a 24 month recovery period
Best to discuss all the ins and outs with your surgeon and PT, as there will be differences in protocols
Good luck
