You are a little late for such considerations. I guess you have already an appointment with your surgeon. You should have a good feeling with him/her and trust the experience of your surgeon. That`s more important than the way it can be done. I guess your muscles are in good shape, that`s very important for the healing afterwards. You can also visualize yourself playing soccer like a god after the surgery and smile from one ear to the other. Serious 🙂
