precautions - ruptured post cruciate ligament

[phunphysio]

Hello,


I did a very similar injury 12 months ago, ruptured ACL, PCL and MCL in a trampolining incident...
Had the ACL repaired and MCL stapled and cartilage removed.
PCL couldnt be repaired for same reason.

I did try a few searches at the time to see what I could and couldnt do but difficult to find much.

I find I loose control when the knee is weightbaring and flexed more than 90 deg (like the squat you mentioned). I can feel the shearing in this position so even things like going down a steep step etc has taken me over a year to achieve. Other than that I was told (apart from contact sports) I shouldnt be restricted from doing anything. I also feel shearing when changing direction. PCL limits tibial rotation also, I find I still feel a clunk when changing direction quickly or without thought.

Hope this helps

Thanks mate,
... that's a good start!!! The guy is alright on normal stairs, but so far, I have told him not to squat on steeper ones and use affected foot first going down big obstacles. So, will stick to that.
Trampolining ... nice one, that must have looked really ugly, too.
Good luck and thanks again,
Fyzzio
