Note for people looking for guidance: take your time! In germany we do things very slowly to make sure the knee recovers perfectly and that the ACL doesnt tear again in the future. It's not about quantity it's about quality is what my doctor says. It's all about working trough everything and not pushing your traumatized knee too hard over the edge. Dont forget that having surgery is a trauma on it's own and the body needs time to figure things out. Good luck everyone!

I like how quickly they jumped to the cycling exercise calling it phase 1. I am nowhere near this 2 months of my ACL and meniscus surgery

[@hipertrofiapl]

It's much more convenient to start lying on the floor with legs placed on a large exercise ball. Just continously bring it to and away from your body evenly with both legs, like 500 times as a warmup every time you exercise. Works magic for improving flexion

Bro, stage 1 can be divided into many other stages. Like week 1, week 2... Most of the excercises cannot be done after one week after cirugy. But that`s a golden content. Thanks for that. It will help me with my rehabilitation for sure. Cheers

I had my reconstruction 7 days ago. Looking forward to getting my rehab in full swing once my staples are out and whatnot.

[@Wyllie38]

Rick after 7 days I could walk with just one crutch. After 8 I could pretty much walk without them. I’m now 10 days after my op and I can walk quite well. I use my crutches just in case and I’m still in a fair bit of pain

[@Wyllie38]

Rick I can walk without the need for crutches... I do use them for added safety and haven’t walked long distances. It does however leave me pretty sore after walking on it. I also always use my crutches when tackling stairs. Everyone is different and recovers at a different rate. I wouldn’t rush anything. Talk to your physio about your concerns.

[@Wyllie38]

@No u well obviously everyone’s different. 12 months ish before I was running again. Depends on your overall fitness the extent of your injury etc. I needed a full reconstruction and mine was bad for nearly a decade. Plus my overall fitness wasn’t great. Its coming up to 2 years since mine now and I have no issues really. Abit of stiffness now and again.

[@Wyllie38]

@No u all the best for your op. And in my opinion I’d strongly recommend getting it done. I wish I got mine done years ago.

[@RandomJune]

She’s a totally healthy volunteer, I’m pretty sure many of the exercises shown can’t be performed in first month

[@Physiotutors]

All of those are early exercises which most patients can perform in our experience. Every patient is different though.

[@mynamewalter5082]

I agree. At least in my experience a vast majority of patients take a bit longer to perform these safely. Some of these seem closer to phase 2 of rehab rather than phase 1

Question: * In the section talking about external-resistance allowed depending on the graft type. What type of resistance are we talking about? In general? In OKC-exercises? Or resistance to the area of which the graft has been taken from? Thanks!

[@jackjefferson1483]

Hi, The current climate on COVID-19 has meant my ACL and Meniscus tear rehab have both been delayed/postponed or as it seems completely forgotten about by the NHS, which is understandable due to the pandemic. However my Surgeon/physician told me (when i FIRST had my MRI to confirm the tears), that i may be able to return to playing football without surgery due to having strong surrounding muscles and many other soccer/football players have done so (i thought he was just telling me this so that i stayed positive but the pain i felt at the time was telling me different and in no way did i think i would be able to do the things i am doing now without surgery). As I have no physio or anyone helping me due to social distancing etc, i have kind of taken it upon my self to see what my knee is capable of... now almost 4 months post tear with no physio or any external rehab, I am able to barbell squat 120kg+KG for reps (was squatting 180KG prior) and run in a straight line without pain or sometimes both exercises cause maybe a 2/10 pain (sometimes) (i have been running 5 KM in around 22-23 minutes - so a decent pace). When i speak to others that have had the injury or at the same point in there recovery (4 months post trauma), they are unable to believe how much i can do with no physio/surgery/rehab. which is really leaving me in the dark as i just want to play football again... but also i dont want to cause anymore stress to the knee. I would'nt say my knee feels normal at all, but pain is low and stability is nowhere near perfect but its ok. Now because I have no physio due to the current situation in the UK, I have no support or help as to what i should be doing next or what i should actually be doing... Being a student i also don't have the funds to pay extortionate amounts of money to go private. I am also worried that if i tell them this info they will tell me i don't need certain surgeries etc to save money and because i have told them i am ok and i am back running. but in order to play football at the level or intensity as i did i want to do whats best for my knee. I am worried to try any multi directional work or even kick a ball. Is anyone on here able to advise or help me what i should do next? As if i can go back to playing football without having ACL reconstruction it would be a dream. If this is not the place could anyone point me in the right direction? Just to confirm I have had an MRI scan to confirm both a tear in my ACL and medial meniscus. just to note, I am a 20 year old male. I hope everyones recovery is going well and thanks for taking the time to read!

[@MikeMoor]

Hey man, this is what happened to me, however I was told the nhs have contracted some priv hospitals during COVID. I don’t know if it’s based on your region in the uk though.

[@ndox6196]

DONT go back to multi directional sport till the reconstruction surgery! I partially ruptured mine early this year and when I went to the nhs was told that I didn’t need surgery. Months went on and as I slowly got back into sports(nothing requiting explosive movement). I even started doing squats at a reduced again before the lockdown. However randomly whilst I was training this month i completely ruptured it, without being involved in intense movement. I was only doing a motion drill when the acl tore. It was much worse at that point but I was privileged enough to get private surgery. If you continue to play it will be a ticking time bomb and could be much worse. You need to wait for the nhs to get your surgery even if it means sacrificing football for a long time It’s not easy, it’s heartbreaking, but you won’t imagine what other interests and how much more time you’ll have to develop other parts of you as a side effect of what seems unfortunate now. Wish you better

[@kamilrzeszutek4581]

Definitely don't do any movements that require quick change of pace and direction, as that will cause a bigger injury and it could cause some serious problems. I've done my ACL 3 weeks ago playing football and now I'm waiting to get an MRI scan, however, they already put me on the list for the reconstruction. which i have to wait 3 months. NHS is a joke when it comes to this types of injuries. Its amazing that you co do things like squatting with that much weight and not feeling too much pain. If you want to have it reconstructed then contact your gp or even go AnE and just tell them that its seriously causing you problems and that you demand a surgery. Especially if you are only 20 and you want to carry on playing sports. Then they will have to do it. It would be different story if you were much older and not being active at all.

[@adimoore8810]

exactly the same injury happened to me 18months ago. i have been in your position able to do certain things not able to twist the knee though for pain and fear. i think you should definitely hold off doing any more than you currently as you will inevitably make it worse. i have finally got my surgery tomorrow through private health care through work. i know you said you are a student but if you have a job maybe try and find out if they offer some kind of healthcare. it is definitely worth it as for me there was no issue treating a pre existing condition, id assume most are like that. good luck!

[@edyta3927]

Hello! Thank you for all the detailed information, I find it very useful. I have one major doubt though: you said that open chair exercises are not recommended in the early stage and they can be performed in a specific range of motion only. Later in the video you mentioned that leg raises are allowed and safe during the early stage, aren't they open chain? My physiotherapist recommended me some exercises, which I think are in open chain: leg raises with a towel, seated leg raises with two legs on the ground... I'm not sure if I should perform them, I'm afraid my graft could extend too much or be damaged. Could you pls explain briefly which open chain exercises are allowed (such as leg raises) and why? Btw I'm 6 days after my ACL reconstrution (autograft, hamstring tendon). Thank you a lot!

[@asharedo]

Although this is probably far too late a response, but the exercises she showed were safe 'because' the leg was in a position where the ACL is not under strain. The fully straightened leg (fully extended knee) prevents the ACL from taking much of the weight when performing a straight leg raise (that's my understanding anyway).

[@muhammadarifiqbal9733]

About twenty -five years ago, I fell on the ground and received a severe internal injury in my left knee. I consulted many doctors. They prescribed me pain killers and gels but a little betterment in pain. I decided to do MRI by myself which showed fanning of the fibres of ACL of left knee, moderate sprain and partial tear of ACL. I can walk easily but I cannot get I cannot run. What will be its treatment?

[@evelynlogie9084]

Are you able to terminal knee extension with a band in standing because the leg is now in close chain environment where the arthrokinematics switch so that the femur is moving on the tibia and not the other way around as in open chain. I know we want to void OC knee extension because it causes shearing at a healing ligament. How is the one where you are laying prone and extending the knee with the ankle propped against a pillow not open chain which would be contraindicated in the early rehab process? Any help is appreciated!

[@Physiotutors]

Terminal knee extension/the screw home mechanism happens in both open and closed chain. It doesn't matter if the tibia or the femur moves.

Good vid., just a little annoying music... But I've read a study, where they've measured the strain on the ACL and the most force it got with isometric tension from the quadriceps, followed by open chain movements like the straight leg raise. Therefore those exercises should be avoided in the first stage. Do you have any other sources for this topic?

[@Physiotutors]

Straight leg raises are safe from early rehab on. Have a look at the blog post from Mick Hughes which covers ACL rehab extensively: www.mickhughes.physio/single-post/2018/12/18/Open-Chain-v-Closed-Chain-What-strains-the-ACL-more?__twitter_impression=true

Less swelling now than before.. and pain is the new normal to me, when will this new normal be gone? Are my physiotherapist did the right workouts for me? Or is it to harsh or what? I can walk but not too fast and when walking I'm trying hard to do full extension on the injured leg, btw had ACL reconstruction and meniscus repair arthroscopic surgery

[@coachice7482]

I also like the workouts you've shown in this video, some of it are the workouts given to me.. but the flexion still a lot of pain than The extension.

[@masoodsheikh2872]

It's been 6 months since I had my surgery, and I'm running quite well but after running my knee feels swollen and when I'm walking it sounds like( thak thak), is it normal?

[@ChristopherBeachy88]

Is this recommended before surgery or only after?

[@Physiotutors]

The video series is for rehab after. Training before surgery is surely a good idea as well but can be done with higher intensity if initial complaints subside

[@dazaladz]

for the banded leg straightening things that your doing at 3.18. how long until I can do this after reconstruction with hamstring graft?

[@revanasiddanagouda4617]

After how many days after this can do

[@FarhanAhmed-km8rt]

Can I follow these exercises as my acl reconstruction surgery was two weeks before from today.

[@Physiotutors]

Yes, gut always best to have guidance by a physio to tailor therapy to your needs

[@jmrjhulk]

Wow phase 1 full flexion and bike

[@ma.ma43]

Hi guys, 5 days ago I tore my acl for the 3rd time in 10 years. But this time I also had I low grade tear of the PCL, low grade sprain of the MCL, high grade tear of the medial patelofemoral ligament, tear of thr medial and lateral meniscus. Waiting to go and see a specialist. Am I fucked for life? I know I cant play sports anymore, but with 2 small kids I would like to be somewhat active.

[@Physiotutors]

Sorry to hear. Can't say anything about your particular situation but I have a friend still playing high level soccer with 4 ACL tears. Probably also very much dependent on how hard you work during rehab

[@goriksadventure2183]

ACL is rest pain? Probably the pain start at knee up to side of a thigh.

[@Andrew.96]

It’s been 4 weeks since acl reconstruction and I can’t bend my knee?? Should I be worried

[@niquesseqouia5798]

Andrew Jasso yup start bending..

[@Andrew.96]

Niques Seqouia ok well I can bend my knee not quite 30 degrees but that’s it it won’t go more is that good for now?? also when I was bending my knee yesterday, this morning under my knee cap hurts really bad!!

[@Physiotutors]

We would advise you to get in touch with your orthopedic surgeon

[@Andrew.96]

Physiotutors ok so here’s an update I’ve been trying to bend my knee for the past couple days and I can bend it just about 45 degrees and I start physical therapy today. I feel like it’s getting better but still feels like there’s a lot of pressure when I try to bend my knee more then 45 degrees but when I massage it it kinda loosened up a bit.

[@hugoaguillon4653]

Andrew Jasso any update on your knee?

[@utkarshkulshreshtha1283]

In first stage are we supposed to start weight bearing? I guess not!

[@danielwanamaker2214]

You can start weight bearing most likely. My doctor said I could immediately after surgery but that’s mainly a question for your doctor since everyone’s surgery goes differently

[@Physiotutors]

Indeed, depends on the protocol. Often the use of crutches is recommend in the first 4 weeks.

Does acl surgery stunt growth

[@Hanvika03]

ACL complicated tear so reconstruction it is possible

[@ッッ-t4m]

Bro they shaved my leg and my legs are hairy , the middle part is bald and the rest up and below is hairy , should I let it grow or what cuz I feel like it’d look weird when it grows out
