AC separation

A surgeon wants to repair my AC separation with some tendon from my leg. What do you think of that idea? I mean, using tendon to replace ligament... Will it be as stong, for one thing? Thanks

The Simply Stable VOS, valgus overload stabilizer elbow brace is designed to help control valgus overload stresses during functional overhead motions. The overhead motions associated with throwing, tennis and volleyball put a tremendous stress on the elbow joint and ulnar collateral ligament (UCL).
