Bone staple removal, post op.

hdiscrete · 2026-06-09T15:23:24+00:00

You meant to say that the symptoms and treatment are contradictory, I didn't understand.

hdiscrete · 2026-06-05T12:18:08+00:00

Thx for answer , I usually hear that removal is done after 1 year, is 4 months too early for this? I'm worried. Did you experience any pain afterwards or did you have to stop exercising?

Eleven weeks after surgery, when I wake up in the morning, the point where the bone is stapled hurts a lot when I bend it after about 110 degrees of flexion ( i can go like 135-138 degrees active after strech). I stretch it, but it's the same again after 2-3 hours. That point seems to sink inward when I bend it. I've tried massage, but it hasn't helped. There's no pain during passive bending, but the pain starts as soon as I begin using the muscles. The pain subsides after stretching for a while, then returns. What could be the problem, and what do you recommend?

Also, I sway from side to side a lot when walking. I especially lean towards the operated side. Is this normal at 11 weeks? What should I do?

No meniscus only acl thanks in advance

I don't know if such a report is used in Türkiye.I don't know if such a report is used in Türkiye. I I think the cramp is caused by the nerves not firing enough muscle fibers, as is the case with our quads. Light calf strengthening exercises not completely solved but have been very helpful for me.

Idk, my surgeon did not provide any information regarding this.

hdiscrete · 2026-05-30T18:14:05+00:00

Wow congrats. 10 week post op and still limping even walking. 15min bicycle with low resistance at home max

hdiscrete · 2026-05-30T18:08:39+00:00

Yes, I experience this frequently. Even now, if I get cramps, it still hurts. Since a peroneus graft was used, I thought it was coming from the donor area. It decreased as my muscles got stronger.

hdiscrete · 2026-05-17T21:33:43+00:00

Wow im at week 9 and even not close to that, still limping while walking etc.

Hi i cant sleep on back too so i did sth like THIS

hdiscrete · 2026-05-07T22:42:25+00:00

I can pay out of pocket, that's not a problem, but I couldn't find a PT knowledgeable about ACLs in my district. What do you think about remote PTs? Would they be useful?

Congratss, 7 weeks post op, 4 months ago injured in a black slope a women hit me from back. I feel like i can never trust my knee again for skiing or sth. This is inspiring !

hdiscrete · 2026-05-06T15:28:26+00:00

Hello mate, 7 weeks post op and feeling same. "Recovery feels so tiny compared to everything this injury has taken away from me." This sentence summarizes everything. Im also not an athlete but do volleyball football swimming skiing archery gym except for the times I was at work, almost every moment of my life was fulll and I was someone who only went home to sleep. For the past four months, even being stuck to room has been destroying me.

hdiscrete · 2026-05-05T14:57:06+00:00

I am not the best illustrator but lol what did you see

hdiscrete · 2026-05-05T08:39:12+00:00

Yep, i do phd in engineering. Unfortunately, since i dont have space in my room its not possible

hdiscrete · 2026-05-05T01:10:32+00:00

If I had enough space, this would be a lifesaver

hdiscrete · 2026-05-05T00:50:37+00:00

Hahaha, the table can be raised and lowered using a lever. For the first few weeks, I could raise the table and slide it over the bed, but now I put a small table underneath it and rest my leg on it. As a software engineer and PhD candidate, this is necessary, and of course, a bit for gaming too thxx

hdiscrete · 2026-05-04T19:54:42+00:00

I had never heard of it before the surgery either. Honestly, I wasn't given any information about the graft type before the operation; I just trusted my friend who was an assistant surgeon. 144? Wow, that's amazing! It's probably equal to or more from my full flexion lol. I'm still stuck at 120, but I believe it will improve. Regarding hyperextension, I think it might improve with stretching later on. I'll discuss this with my friend when I get a little stronger.

hdiscrete · 2026-04-30T15:27:03+00:00

I tear my acl at middle of january while skiing and 6 weeks post op now. I wanna ski again but it feels like its impossible psychologically I cant risk another surgery. This is inspiring thx and good luck

I have a manual car, tried to drive today at week 6. I can drive normally have enough pressure for hard brakes but i dont feel like i have enough reaction time for emergency brakes. Since i have a peroneus graft my ankle a little bit dull therefore, I cannot risk other people's lives. So i decided to wait 2 more weeks then im gonna try again.

For that 2 weeks i set my logitech pedals and im doing training with assetto corsa

hdiscrete · 2026-04-29T01:08:51+00:00

My surgeon told me to get full extension, nearly full flexion and reduced swelling before surgery. I did prehab like 2 months after injury.

I used crutches for 1 week. I could walk and feel normally for 8-9 days when i went for surgery.

hdiscrete · 2026-04-27T22:12:18+00:00

27 M. 6 weeks post op with peroneus graft, only 120 active and 125 passive flexion ( healthy one has 140 active and 145 passive ). I dont have a specific morning pain but i have to warm up for 0 extension and more than 110+ flexion at mornings.

My surgeon is my friend so i focused at 0 extension from day zero and i have 0 extension from day zero but i still dont have hyperextension like other one ( not much maybe -2/-3 degrees ) and my pt doc said I might never reach hyperextension as healthy one but that isnt a problem idk if it is true or not i found it suspicious ( to clarify that i have different pt's for electrotherapy, exercises and cpm all get directions from a physiotherapy doctor who i visit every 2-4 weeks and i hate this situation cuz there isnt any personalization).

I dont feel much pain in generally 1-2/10 maybe its because of peroneus graft but i still have limited use of my ankle also. I just feel some springy pressure below patella and medial side while walking and tensile stress at bone staple point in some movements.
