ACL Reconstruction (allo) - torn again 12 mos later

I've been researching this injury a lot in the past few weeks, and found that I probably should have researched a year ago.

I tore my ACL (3rd deg) playing indoor soccer in June '09, and had surgery to reconstruct it using allograft (tib ant) material shortly thereafter. Over the next 12 months I rehab'd the knee religiously and although it never felt 100%, I pushed myself to slowly get back to playing the sport that put me there.

Though I asked a lot of questions from my surgeon and PT caregivers throughout, I never felt like I had any direction, I just worked hard, and often. I do recall mentioning a few times that I didn't feel like I was getting any stronger, or feeling much more stable after a certain point in my progress. But, I pushed myself to move on.

Playing at 1/2 speed for the second game in a few weeks, I received a pass & stomped the turf to cut to the left (planting the bad leg) and then - crunch - I knew exactly what it was. I saw stars, tucked it into my chest, and took a seat.

2 MRI's later, there is no sign of my graft. My surgeon had his assistant call & deliver the bad news a few days ago, letting me know I should hang tight, as he was on his way out for a week-long vacation. Still, I have no idea what I would be waiting for him to tell me. I'm at a loss. I didn't research the doc the first time around, and now realize I made a costly (time, effort, money, and sanity) error. I don't plan on having him do another surgery. And I don't know if that decision will end up costing me more or less...

I plan to see other, much more credible surgeons starting next week (about 3 weeks post re-injury). But I can't help but wonder what recourse I have against my current doctor.

In the first hour of research, I learned more about this injury and the reconstruction methods than in 12 months talking with my surgeon. Here's one that sticks out -
"Young athletes have high failure rate with allograft ACL" (see http://www.aaos.org/news/aaosnow/sep08/cover3.asp)

Just wanted to share with others, as well as try to get some feedback from folks that may help me get out of this funk!

Some background on me - I'm an avid sports fan, just turned 30, in the best shape of my life (excluding the botched ACL), with a wonderful career and family. Would like to get back to focusing on those, and not this knee! Thanks for reading.
