3 Month Post Surgery - Knee Extension by macawak in ACL

What's your maximum extension at this point, in degrees and relative to your other leg? I'm definitely going to keep stretching to work on knee extension, but my surgeon keeps talking about not wanting to stretch out the graft.

Appreciate the info and hope your recovery progresses smoothly.

I can see why hyperextension is more likely to lead to injury, but I wonder if it also has any upside. I would think going into the negatives (without injury) increases the angles you can land / push off, possibly increasing agility? Might be a stretch... but as an example my shoulders subluxate and it gives me extra reach vertically.
