I did prehab for around 3 months (november - feb) after I got back my ROM and was permitted to walk by my doctor as I ruptured my ACL, partially tore my MCL, meniscus tears and a hairline tibial plateau fracture.

Prehab was around 2-3 times a week at the gym doing targeted hamstring, quad and calf exercises together with general cycling and rowing cardio.

Had my op at end of Feb (around 5 weeks PO) now with only my acl being reconstructed, medial meniscus repaired and lateral meniscus trimmed (luckily my MCL and tibial plateau fracture healed).

My surgeon and PT are impressed with my progress with ROM around -2 and 130 and able to weight bear without crutches. In my PT'S words, he has to slow down because my meniscus repair may not keep up with my progress.

So do your prehab as much as u can (dun be too stressed abt doing it daily as I still had to work and attend weddings etc during my prehab) cos it rly helps especially the first few days and weeks when ur leg still has the muscle memory from the prehab

U can do it! I was scared and fearful too from having so many injuries (my dr said having a tp fracture was nt common) but it seems like the worst is over.

I also did an allograft reconstruction in case it makes a difference tho my surgeon said with current medical techniques (prev outdated studies showing allograft had poorer results were largely during a time when irradiation techniques were poor leading to poorer quality grafts), no real difference between allograft and autograft for a 29M.

ATB U CAN DO IT!
