    Re: precautions - ruptured post cruciate ligament

    Probably, but it could have a binding and sudden release factor that may appear as an instability.

    I do not know as I have not seen him.

    The turning of the tibialis on the femur can cause binding of the joint that appears as an instability. If the joint is simply lax due to Wikipedia reference-linkmeniscus problems then this will not be the case.

    If the meniscus is damaged, then what about a brace?

    Hope that this is helpful.

    Best regards,

    Neuromuscualr.

    Re: precautions - ruptured post cruciate ligament

    Hi,
    I have only got the rehab discharge report with a summary of the surgeons report. Menisci weren't mentioned, therefore I presume they were undamaged (..?..).
    He's got a brace (Don Joy, full ROM ext, limiting >100 degree flex), which he now only wears for longer distance walking.

    But generally, his knee is fine and his surgeon is very happy with the current condition. I really only wanted to know, whether there is anything, he shouldn't do with an unfunctional post Wikipedia reference-linkcruciate ligament.

    Thanks for your help, it made me review the anatomy in more detail,
    cheers,
    Fyzzio
