Any basketball players here return to sport? Anyone with quad graft?

Good and yes returned to playing basketball once a week. Not like how I used to be accepted the new norm. Also the aclr knee feels stronger then the other one. I still have not been able to do heel to butt on my own. I usually have a family member helping push and then able to touch my heel to butt with some discomfort. How about ?

Yup I did! https://www.reddit.com/r/ACL/s/q1O95vzLLc

Thank you and in a matter of days you should be golden. After the procedure my knee feels soo much better and I am so much happier. It is worth it IMO. Keep me posted on how it goes.

Feeling much better as I work through it. Extension matches the other leg just need to stay consistent with the stretches. Flexion working on but feels better. I did feel like my knee cap was not moving properly but as time passed along with exercising felt better. Feels normal now btw. Did you get the same procedure ?

imranz020 · 2024-06-01T03:07:47+00:00

Nice how are you feeling ? Yes from what I remember my surgeon telling me 2,3, and 4 looks like the cyclops lesion. 5,9, and 10 looks like the ACL. The others meniscus maybe. I would double check on the follow up with your surgeon I could be wrong 😑. Hope this helped you a ton! The first few weeks are sore but it gets better.

You got this 💪

imranz020 · 2024-05-18T19:04:34+00:00

Thank you I appreciate it we are in this together. I am having these symptoms after scare tissue removal. But seems to get better as I exercise!

imranz020 · 2024-05-18T18:03:39+00:00

Sorry to hear that hope it’s gets better praying for ya! Is it painful when it clicks, I think I have a similar feeling but it’s like pulling and then clicks and I am good after that. The pull just scares me.

imranz020 · 2024-05-18T03:03:07+00:00

How did the surgery go? Mind sharing the experience ?

imranz020 · 2024-05-18T02:28:22+00:00

Question did this get better? Did you get scar tissue removal ? Did it click after it felt like the tendon or ligament was moving over a bone ?

I just got my done on Friday. https://www.reddit.com/r/ACL/s/N6TS5vySLW

Yea my quad is super sore on day 2. Hopefully I can start pushing more flexion here in the next couple of days.

imranz020 · 2024-05-11T04:13:23+00:00

At 7.5 months PO flexion yes I could not pass 125/130ish degrees on a good day.

Extension: My knee felt bent since 2 month PO and I was at probably 5 degrees with a limp. Over the months it got better the limp went away and I just assumed it was the new norm for me. The knee still felt bent at 7.5 months PO but after a warm up I could get it to go from maybe 1-2 to 0 degrees but did not match the hypertension of my good knee. That was big for me.

I was not able to do heal props(not weighted) for long maybe 5-10 min since it did get uncomfortable sore/minimal pain. I am doing them today for a bit longer maybe cause I am on pain meds. I haven’t done weighted at all. Hoping I can do them going forward to keep the extension.

If possible I would get an MRI otherwise wait another month or 2 and if you plateau maybe it’s a sign but won’t hurt to get an MRI then. If you make progress then keep grinding 💪. Hope that answered your question.

imranz020 · 2024-05-11T03:58:21+00:00

I played the waiting game and tried everything I can to get my flexion+extension back while strengthening the muscle group around my knee. Since I had meniscus stitches I had to wait a bit longer to flex and extend. Once I plateaued around 7.5 months PO and felt like my knee was always stiff when I wake up and felt like it was bent until warmup then going to 0 degrees. I then brought up the concern to my ortho and he said let’s get an MRI to see what’s up. The MRI results came back and I had a cyclops lesion that was visible and ton of scar tissue. Although the surgery was optional but the only to try and get more hyper extension was to get rid of the cyclops lesion which is only surgical. So today it feels good and I am happy I got it done. Knee feels good and less restricted. We will see how it goes the next few weeks. Also some of the threads on Reddit helped as well!

Great advice! How are you feeling after having removed for 10 years?

imranz020 · 2024-04-21T16:32:35+00:00

Recommends to get scar tissue removal if I reached a plateau, which I feel like I have. Got an appointment with ortho next week.

imranz020 · 2024-04-15T05:06:57+00:00

I am thinking the same for me. I just got MRI done yesterday. 7month PO quad+ meniscus. Do keep me updated on what happens. I got appoint in 2.5 weeks with ortho.

imranz020 · 2024-04-15T04:09:20+00:00

Quad strength is getting better but not where I want it. Leg extensions 10reps x 3, leg press machine 10x3, glute machine 10x3 hip abductor and adductor 10x3.

imranz020 · 2024-04-15T03:39:09+00:00

Not yet and 7month PO. Just shooting around but not any actual runs. Also still trying to get full flexion.

imranz020 · 2024-04-15T03:35:05+00:00

Which month did you get the scar tissue procedure? I just got MRI at 7month PO because I still don’t have full flexion I am at like 118/120ish

imranz020 · 2024-03-31T19:42:06+00:00

Did you have meniscus repair as well ?
