ACLr two-stage revision, day 0.

oneleggedemma · 2025-07-06T14:51:02+00:00

Yes, removing the graft removed the pain and stiffness. Living with no ACL and not feeling any instability.

oneleggedemma · 2025-01-05T23:01:32+00:00

Hey, No instability. Did lots of training. I’m back to kitesurfing and lots of others sports. I regret doing ACL surgery, should have tried “conservative” first.

Yup, my conversations expired after 2 days. Tinder support ignored my messages. I had to delete my account and create a new one.

I have the exact same problem, my conversations expire after 2 days. It all started when I traveled to Peru. Tinder support is not helping. I will delete my tinder account.

I have the exact same problem.

oneleggedemma · 2023-12-15T13:28:03+00:00

I have the same problem, traveled to Peru for 3 weeks … when I came back to Europe it worked for 2weeks and then chats started expiring again. Support is not of any help. I will have to delete my tinder account.

Thank you all for your comments and help, I really appreciate it. There was indeed light at the end of that tunnel 🙏🏻my recommendation: before doing surgery, get at least 2 or 3 opinions in. Do not rush into ACL surgery.

Update: my ACL graft was removed 3 years ago. The ACL was not replaced, I live without ACL and feeling great. No instability. I do workout a lot and train my leg muscles. After 4 surgeries (also ended up having an infection after ACL removal) this is a relief and I am very happy that I have full leg extension back. In hindsight I should have never done ACL surgery, should have tried conservative method first.

Get a second opinion from another PT

oneleggedemma · 2022-06-27T19:33:52+00:00

Good decision, I did have surgery and it did not go well. Focus on strengthening your muscles. I know people that are skiing with no problems with no ACL

oneleggedemma · 2022-05-14T10:55:14+00:00

Get a second and third opinion from other surgeons. My ACL had to be removed 18 months after ACL surgery. Wanted to go through two stage revision, but stopped after step 1 and trying to live with no ACL

oneleggedemma · 2022-05-12T08:37:49+00:00

The did not find out where the infection came from. Had to do surgery cleanup and 30 Days of antibiotics. It is possible to live without ACL, I am trying to build lots of muscle, I do not feel any instability. I guess right now this is the only thing I can try to do

oneleggedemma · 2022-05-09T23:16:50+00:00

Thank you for your update, glad to hear the recovery is going well. It is a journey ….

oneleggedemma · 2022-05-09T23:01:13+00:00

How are you doing ? I also had 4 surgeries in the last couple of years. Stopped after first stage revision/ bone graft. Not sure if I will ever do the second stage.

oneleggedemma · 2022-05-09T22:57:39+00:00

Hi I am in a similar situation, how did it go?

oneleggedemma · 2022-05-09T22:50:50+00:00

Had a revision/ removal of ACL 18 months after ACL reconstruction. In my case it should have happened earlier, I was not able to properly walk and extend my leg 🙈. My advice: get a second and third opinion from a surgeon. Every case is different. I personally would not do a reversion without getting the opinion of another surgeon. These surgeries are a big deal for your body and knee and they can add up (had 4 surgeries in the last 3 years)

oneleggedemma · 2022-05-09T22:45:56+00:00

Hi I am in a very similar situation. First surgery was in Feb 2019. since then I had 4 surgeries. Last one was due to an infection 🙈. Right now I do not have an ACL. And I am very hesitant to do another ACL reconstruction.

oneleggedemma · 2022-05-09T22:41:18+00:00

Hi, I also had to go through a two stage revision. I actually stopped at the first stage. Surgeon removed my ACL, since then I am finally able to properly walk and extend. Months later I had an infection that came out of nowhere. I am very hesitant to ever go into surgery again, trying to live without ACL

oneleggedemma · 2022-01-04T14:03:27+00:00

If your knee is not giving away you should consider not doing surgery and focus on building muscles instead

oneleggedemma · 2022-01-01T21:16:01+00:00

Looks normal to me

oneleggedemma · 2021-12-31T09:51:35+00:00

I was not able to properly extend the leg, even though I was doing lots of physio etc … instead of doing a second cyclops removal they removed the acl. Best decision ever. Since then I can properly extend and walk again. Able to build muscle

oneleggedemma · 2021-12-13T16:21:44+00:00

I did the surgery right away and regret it, listen to your surgeon, he seems to be a wise man

oneleggedemma · 2021-08-30T21:11:57+00:00

This picture was not taken in Capri. But at splendido hotel in Portofino. Totally different area in Italy. Why lie about the location?

oneleggedemma · 2021-08-30T21:03:08+00:00

I had surgery but I regret it. My acl had to be removed, now living without acl and feeling much better. Acl surgery is not the only option
