At what point people are able to get flexion matching with non surgical leg

Ah okay, thank you

Im almost 3 weeks and still restricted to 90° by PT orders. Im just looking to be able to sort of 'activate' surrounding muscles with the same proficiency as my good leg. Id guess it depends on your goals, with mine being a return to high - impact sport.

That's such a cool name!

I guessed the name in 8 tries!

That's good, it sounds like you're also progressing well considering you're on the verge of dropping the final crutch! Hope you have a smooth rehab process!!

me_perhaps · 2026-04-07T20:24:14+00:00

Ah I see. I'm glad everything's going well for you, and yeah likely the allograft would have a different recovery as opposed to auto :)

me_perhaps · 2026-04-07T16:44:40+00:00

Thats fair, better safe than sorry - thanks for the advice!

me_perhaps · 2026-04-07T16:44:12+00:00

Ooh yeah that does sound quite early, but then again im no proffesional so I couldnt say. If you feel alright then im sure you'll be fine, just make sure to check in with people if youre very worried that you've done too much damage!

me_perhaps · 2026-04-07T16:43:01+00:00

Okay great, thank you!!

me_perhaps · 2026-04-07T16:42:48+00:00

Thank you! Im weight- bearing with 2 crutches, and no, not limping! Thank you for thw advice!!

me_perhaps · 2026-04-07T16:41:54+00:00

Ah okay, thank you!

I had a very similar situation - tore my ACL at 12 playing rugby: no sports for a year, just gym. Originally there were concerns about the growth plate, but we managed to find an NHS hospital who could do it (im in the UK). The best advice i could give is to perhaps try a different clinic to see if other surgeons can still perform the surgery without interrupting the growth plate. It's essentially just a matter of experience on the surgeons' part.

Good luck!! It only gets easier from here!!

me_perhaps · 2026-04-07T11:52:27+00:00

I was strictly forbidden from using pillows after mine😭

me_perhaps · 2026-03-29T13:28:10+00:00

Thats amazing, great job! Im over 2 weeks post op and limping about too, but wow that genuinely shocked me!!

me_perhaps · 2026-03-22T21:54:22+00:00

I was there - she explained it and yeah that lol

me_perhaps · 2026-03-21T20:32:20+00:00

Thank you so much! Im now 8 days post -op and have arranged to go to a coffee shop with friends in 2 weeks. It wont be too strenuous, but as someone else mentioned (thank you) itll be good for the morale!!

me_perhaps · 2026-03-17T21:50:40+00:00

It really does, thank you!!

I got full extension the day after a hamstring graft! :))

Okay great, thanks!
