    Re: Post ACL surgery therapy

    Hi Licensed...

    The band that you are talking about ARE the tendons taken - there are 4 that come in thru there and 2 are usually taken for your Hamstring graft operation - usually semi-tendinosis and gracillis but the actual operation depends on the surgeon and style and technique and choice etc etc.

    Sometimes the clicking is from healing - you don't state how old the operation is - but sometimes it is the stump that is sometimes left behind for bloodflow reasons that can be clicking.

    Many things click in the knee...best to get it checked out to see what is causing it.

    Cheers

    The goal of physiotherapy is to restore optimum function - that is to move freely and maintain positions without causing damage either now or in the future. This requires the assessment and restoration of efficient load transfer throughout the whole body.

    Re: Post ACL surgery therapy

    Thank you for your response. It has been 2.5 years so it has done all the healing it will do, which is why im starting to worry. I now see that those "bands" are gone forever haha. That is part of the issue, as I can feel its missing and it gets overworked more easily than my right leg. Can I ask for more information on this "stump" left behind for bloodflow?

    Thanks.
