ACL repairs are far different than Achilles.
The main reason why ACL's ended careers was due to the invasive medical procedures. have you ever seen ACL scars from the 80's? Today's microscopic surgery negates such need.
Achilles repair in athletes is unsuccessful for the most part. A cadaver muscle is replaced and grafted, leaving the results uncertain.
