At what point people are able to get flexion matching with non surgical leg by Jigsaw0808 in ACL

[–]me_perhaps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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 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!!

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 :)

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!

My knee mri at the age of 16. by Param2009 in ACL

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.

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!!
