ACL Surgery


I went in for my ACL replacement surgery last week. All went well and my recovery is going smoothly.
This picture was taken about 24hrs post surgery at my first checkup with the surgeon. It doesn't show up too well, but the knee is very swollen. You can also see the Yes, No notes that the doctor wrote on my knees before surgery.
It's been a week now and the stitches are out and I'm off of crutches. I can also bend the knee to about 92-degrees on my own and a bit past 100-degrees with assistance. Right on track for full recovery!
I'll post more later when I have the chance. Also, when I get back to the office I'll scan and post the pictures the took of the inside of my knee as well as the X-rays showing the nice screw that's holding the new tendon in place.
