View allIt's been three months since my ACL and MCL surgery on my right knee, but I still have a very mild limp when walking. I can flex my knee up to 120 degrees and fully extend it, though it's still a little less than my left leg since that one hyperextends. Is this slight limp normal? I can climb stairs but only one at a time.
A mild limp after ACL and MCL surgery at 3 months is common.Physiotherapy should continue and full recovery may take 6–12 months with gradual improvement.

it's been a year since my tibial plateau surgery with a 6 inch plate and I still get pain when standing for around 10 minutes - is this normal or should I be concerned about how it's healing?
It's understandable to be concerned about persistent pain after a tibial plateau fracture surgery, even after a year. While some degree of pain and stiffness is expected during recovery, prolonged pain warrants further evaluation. It's crucial to consult your surgeon or orthopedic specialist to determine the cause of your pain and discuss potential next steps.
