Week One Post Op

Used a bone-patellar tendon-bone graft for the surgery.  One of the newest and best methods.  The idea is that the recovery is much quicker/stronger since you don't have to wait for tendon to bone to heal but bone to bone.  Was in the CPM machine all night which really helped.

Meniscus was just frayed and was filed down.  Nothing removed so no early arthritis.



Left Leg is -2 degrees in straightening and 150 degrees in bending


Friday, Day One:  Straightening 3 degrees, Bending 105 degrees

Monday:  Bending 114 degrees

Tuesday:  Bending 122 degrees

Wednesday:  Straightening 1 degree, Bending 132 degrees

Thursday:  Straightening 0 degrees (complete - no hyperextension until the graft is healed), Bending 134 degrees
