At 10 mos...are your legs the same size???if so what exercises would you say helped you get your quad the same size as the non operated leg????and being you got the patellar graft..are you able to kneel without pian on the front of your knee??I'm now at 6 mos and still feel pain while kneeling on it or even sitting on my legs ...same graft
@@nessa90 heyo! They were not perfectly the same size as non-operated leg but very close. I am at 12 months now and it is close but you could tell it is still a bit smaller. It took a while tbh I was having issues getting strength back in my quad. My hamstring strength came back quick but for some reason quad took longer because I think i kept relying on my good leg in exercises without realizing it. PT switched it up for me a bit where I had to do a lot of single leg or one sided exercises only on my right surgical leg. This helped immensely and and after a few months I passed all the tests and could tell it was getting much stronger. I also had to do extra single leg reps on quad extensions with high weight and low weight. Also, I started doing them to start out with everyday working out to get more progress instead of only on leg day. This also helped a lot. Right now it feels really good and is probably like 90-95% the same as good leg. Almost there. As for kneeling, there is a bit of discomfort still at 12 months but its not too bad. I can definitely kneel fine but on harder surfaces it is a bit tougher for sure. Soft surface no issues at all. I remember at 6 months it was still tough and painful to kneel for me too. Trust the process, it will be fine soon and time will fly by! You got it and let me know if you have any questions💪
@iamolegsavka thank you so much for replying. That pretty much sums it up for me....I've been noticing my leg trembles when doing quads extensions..so I've been playing with different weight settings but it feels like it's definitely helping my quad strength...started jogging as well ...will just have to be patient and keep working it out.hearing your leg is back to 95% at 12 months gives me hope..thank you much
@@nessa90 yesss no worries you got it just take it day by day and do extra sets and reps for your surgical leg. I was pretty similar and now it is feeling very good and natural. Awesome that you are having progress💪
I'm so happy that you managed to get better, in my case i damaged my mpfl ligament 9 months ago and so far with pt and everything else I still feel a 1-2/10 pain daily, according to some doctos i eventually need to get a mpfl reconstruction surgery (just like acl surgery) and some other docrors say it give it another 5-6 months and it could heal on its own. Whats ur opinion on this?
@@NK98_ Thank you! Danggg man that’s tough but I know you will stay strong and get through it💪 Honestly, I have never heard of mpfl ligament/surgery so I cannot really give much advice. Best to get as much advice as possible from knee doctors and physical therapists is all I would advise. You got it bro.
@@fenixxx56 yeah I head that quad is an option as well but more rare and only just started doing it. Doctors told me patellar tendon is very strong graft and usually used for athletes while hamstring graft is usually used for non athletes. Idk a whole lot about quad tendon graft so if I were you, I would ask your doctor for more info!
@@HoangDoc-cc7su Yes for sure. I had to wear it first few months and now only for contact sport for a few more months. Ask you doctor/physical therapists for your specific situation though!💪

What type of acl reconstruction graft did you end up go for?
I got the patellar tendon graft💪
I’ve heard the quad tendon is an option as well. Curious why you went for the patella instead of the quad tendon?
@@fenixxx56 yeah I head that quad is an option as well but more rare and only just started doing it. Doctors told me patellar tendon is very strong graft and usually used for athletes while hamstring graft is usually used for non athletes.

Should we wear knee support for how many months, Sir?
@@HoangDoc-cc7su Yes for sure. I had to wear it first few months and now only for contact sport for a few more months. Ask you doctor/physical therapists for your specific situation though!💪
