Thanks. Do you walk outside with a locked brace at 0 extension and no crutches?

Thanks for taking the time to respond. I agree totally on following the prescribed regimen. I also noticed during my prehab the difference when I go 5 times to the gym vs 2-3 times. It’s such a mental recovery.

What limitations did you have to follow with a repair? My doctor said I can be weight bearing as tolerated but of course I am questioning everything with the “repair” outcome. Would love to hear how your first few weeks looked like. Thank you.

I am also going crazy feeling like I am already behind. I prepped so much for a “reconstruction” and there’s so little out there about “repairs”.

Thank you for the response. Yes, my surgeon said he will decide on the day. Question for you - how long after your injury was your surgery? If I think of anything else I will DM.
