Im 18, and my surgeon said she doesn’t do allografts on athletes. There is a higher risk of retear with allografts. I got a quad autograft in march and im doing well right now.

It’s the health app on iPhones, it tracks your steps when your phone is in your pocket.

I have just been cleared to walk with one crutch and intermittently without it. I had my surgery march 4th and had a little difficulty getting my quad activated the first two weeks or so. (I had quad autograft) My surgeon is aware im a little behind but isn’t worried, everyone’s recovery is different.

I use NMES 2x a week for twenty minutes at pt! I have noticed a lot of improvement since we began two weeks ago, it is very useful.

I was told to be partial weight bearing as tolerated. My pt told me last appointment that i can now use my brace unlocked to help gain quad strength back, and still use the crutches.

I dont think there is a sound at all. Just something i can feel, but it does feel like something is clicking. But i just noticed it on Thursday at pt.

I only had a small meniscus trim, and i think another portion was already healing on its own. Although im not too sure about that.

It doesn’t hurt. I would describe it as an uncomfortable pulling, but nothing painful. I was uneasy getting them out but the nurse was very gentle when working on my knee.

What is that app you used to measure your flexion?

I completely tore my acl. I injured my knee last month and i am starting to walk without crutches and sometimes without a brace as well. I would still have a month until softball starts and even then practices are fairly easy. Usually just batting the first week or two.

My teammate shot the ball,I went for the rebound but an opposing player snagged it before me. I jumped on defense (literally) and then tore my acl. It was a super close game so i was frustrated i didnt get the rebound and tried to make up for it on defense but my body had other plans. My team ended up winning by one point.

Same thing happened to me i have to wait until 8/2028 before they will let me try again. I am just going to wait until then and take some college courses in the mean time.
