View all20 days post ACL surgery with hamstring autograft and partial medial meniscectomy, my operated leg looks much thinner and weaker now. The calf has lost size and firmness too. Is this muscle loss normal after surgery and how long does it usually take to regain the original leg diameter and strength?
Yes, the thinning and weakening of your operated leg, including the calf, is a common and normal occurrence after ACL surgery with hamstring autograft and partial meniscectomy. This muscle loss, known as disuse atrophy, is primarily due to the limited activity and immobilization in the initial post-operative period. The recovery timeline for regaining original leg diameter and strength varies, but it can take several months, typically 9 to 12 months, with a gradual progression through physical therapy

I've been dealing with stiffness and pain in my left knee, and every time I move it, there's a clicking sound along with pain. The MRI shows a partial ACL tear, but some orthos say it's not torn while others insist on surgery or PRP treatment. I'm confused because two different MRI reports say the same thing why the conflicting opinions? If the ACL is just displaced, would PRP actually help? And why am I still having so much pain if some doctors say the ACL isn't torn? My back and neck hurt too, and I'm not sure what to do next.

How can I reduce my elbow carrying angle from 21 degrees to around 14-15 degrees without surgery? Is that even possible? I've been wondering if exercises or physical therapy could help correct it naturally. What options do I have besides going under the knife?
