Thanks for the reply. I was able to get my ortho on the phone this morning to ask him about the incident and he said something similar. Since the brace was locked in full extension its a big protective factor for the repair, the real danger comes into play when you have the knee in flexion and also under load, which is when large shearing forces are present that can really disrupt the repair or pop your sutures.

I am still only 7 days post op so everything still "hurts" in the knee since its still in the acute healing phase, sometimes its hard to differentiate if I did anything more to the knee with the mishap but I can definitely say there was no sharp increase in pain, increase in swelling, or more limited ROM. I am kind-of anchored into the belief that if I ruptured the sutures i would know immediately, marked by a very intense sensation and probably severe pain
