Sorry dude but there is no growing the hamstring back, once it's gone it"s gone.....Although, you can strengthen and grow the existing hamstring which is left after you reconstruction.

I was back playing Aussie rules after 9 mths rehab, was walking 3wks and running after 2.5mths, get yourself a good physio and gym emmebership if you don't have one and work on BOTH legs as much as you can and even push SLIGHLTLY beyond what you think you can without going overboard, listen to you knee and leg and you will be back as good as ever and in a relatively short period of time.

All the best

even though your young, should be a bit easier for you provding you follow the advice of a good physio, as you are young you body should be able to repair, grow and strengthen qicker and better then someone older, get in thet gym and start your rehad ASAP, do plenty of walking and you will get the benefits....

Bets of luck

. At the same time, breaking my ACL was the best thing that's happened to me!

that's an interesting way to describe ACL damage? elaborate?

i did my acl about just over a year ago, and had surgery almost 1 year to the day so i know the drill, interested in your story..
