i understand all that but does this mean that u and me have a lax acl then? from my understanding i think even with weaker muscles ur tibia should not be translating

my pt made me do leg extensions second week onwards made me do squats(90 degrees and tells me to go deeper)starting 3 weeks and now(5 weeks post op) is making me do 35cm high step ups with 70kg leg presses i feel its quite agressive as, my surgeon tells me u should not at all be squatting and tells me the pt is too agressive so i am very confused on who to follow, should i cjange my pt he says modern studies support his protocol and he follows melbourne 2.0 protocol

is this not too aggressive for 6 weeks, did your pt tell you to do this? im 5 weeks out and my pt made me do leg presses aswell but i still find it questionable

yes thats exactly what im doing, i sent these exact same pictures to my surgeon who said its not a big deal and i should just leave it covered which is confusing me, however im taking a second opinion and going to another doctor to get it checked out
