left one I had done 5 years ago, Anterior. Rehab much shorter and easier. Ifg you must have it done choose this.

It's not a picnic. I can not walk to the back of a big box store and back without extreme pain. I am unable to exercise so I have lost all muscle tone. But then I am 74.

Good luck to you and please shop around for the surgeon.
What was the cause of it coming apart? I had mine done( posterior) last spring and haven't had any trouble at all. I was fishing in 8 weeks and duck hunted with no problems. Just curious.
